Now my toad bone were finally nicely defleshed, I gave them a few 24 hours soaks in a lukewarm water and washing powder solution to degrease them (eliminating the fatty residues, and also the smell). I also did a good sieving before this, to get rid of all the non-bone bits.

And this was my result:

Beautiful, wonderful, lovely bones! I dried them out and bagged them up (according to size).
Next step, articulation! (or at least a good attempt at it)

Defleshing Stage Three - Insect Bone Picking

After hot water maceration didn't produce quite the result I expected, I decided to drain the remains, leave them outside and let nature take its course.
I read that dermestid beetles are one of the best and most thorough way to render a corpse down to a skeleton, and I've always been extremely interested in growing a colony of my own.
Unfortunately, I cant access them locally and I'm a little apprehensive about ordering them online. May have to done a bit more research.
So with no dermestid beetles readily available, I left the bones open to any insects willing to have them.

Fortunately they attracted a bunch of very keen ants.

They cleaned the bones wonderfully! I left them out for around two week undercover and the little critters really polished them up nicely.
A lesson I learnt for next time was to cover the container a little more. Didn't really enjoy picking through the dirt and leaves, and it runs the risk of damaging the bones.

It seemed it wasn't just the black ants that were interested in the bones (or maybe it was just the area they were in).
A colony of green ants were nearby and on the offensive. I couldn't resist capturing the action in a heated battle field. Green ants are an extremely aggressive specices. I know from personal experience that even a single ant, if aggravated, will vow a personal vendetta on you (man or beast) and will not stop until vengeance is done!

Defleshing Stage Two - Hot Water Maceration

After I removed as much meat from the carcass as I could, I decided I would try the hot water maceration technique for removing the rest of flesh.
In a medium sized saucepan (that I don't want to be using for food preparation ever again) I bought water with a few squeezes of dishwashing liquid to the boil and plopped what was left of my toad in.

I found it near impossible to remove the skin and meat from the feet and toes, so I figured the boiling would make it a case of "meat falling off the bone".

Drowning in the bath is a common fear, not just for the drunk.  Also, 

the smell of boiling toad is somewhere between dog food and muddy wet socks

This was not the case. I boiled the bones for about 45mins and nothing much changed. In fact, I actually think the skin got tougher.
