Reptile Taxidermy - Need Recommendations

I've read all of the old threads on this board about taxidermy, but most are referring to deer and ducks. Google is somewhat helpful, but so many of these guy's websites are so outdated I can't tell if they are still even around.
I caught an alligator snapping turtle a few years ago, a pretty decent size (it was damn hard to get into my little pirogue). I dried it out and cleaned it up, all of the scales ended up falling out so it's bone white now. I've got the skull and shell hung up at my camp. I'm looking for someone to either dip it and make it bright white or, if possible, make it the color it was originally and then mount the skull and shell on something.
TIA

Yeah that's not gonna happen. Once it bleaches, there is no going back.

It’s just bone at this point. You’re not going to get the look of it having scutes again.
