Hello, I live in LaPorte CO, Larimer county on Green Ridge Dr. Found this dead bat under my old tent trailer, been there at least 2 days. I am wondering if there is a disposal protocol or if a chiropteran person would like to test it for white nose or any other pathogen. Looks to be 8-10 cm's long. Attached is a photo (did not put anything for scale, sorry). I would appreciate your advice. Thank you, Tom Catlow
