Try to find out if they salt the only tails, I see the directions then the photo looks like they were salted what’s the deal? I’ve got some with off color stripes but nice tails be nice to know before I get going.

To salt or not to salt that is the question.

I use Borax. It speeds up the drying process especially in low temperatures.

Groeney pays good $ for Boraxed tails! You can find it in the laundry soap department in a small town grocery.
