It may be quite difficult Steve, Not really sure.
nope, they are bone, not cartilage. I have a complete red sided garter skeleton I found out in Kansas...under a rock... that would be my suggestion is put the body under a board on some bare soil and mother nature take care of it...insects wil eat the flesh and hopefully will leave the tendons to dry and hold it together...

here's photos....its now mounted in a nice black shadow box
