From the back of the tail, start at the end where you snipped the tail, and start slicing down to the end of the tail. Try to slice in a straight line. Remove the bone in the tail. Once the bone is gone, lay the tail on some cardboard and spread some salt or borax on the flesh part of the tail. This will dry it out. After a week or two, remove the salt or borax and the tail should be ready to hang.
