How bloody difficult is it to find them? I t seems my underground water sources almost never have anything to fish upand I seem to be equally unlucky with other water

I've found that doubling the population of fish increases their probability to appear.

fish out of wells, you get turtles

I just add [SHELL] to something like bone, so I never have to bother with any of that. Butcher a cow, get some shell.

Or add it to something otherwise useless (at least in default game), like chitin, nail, hair or scale.  I thought about cartilage or nerve tissue, but that's just wrong.

I put oit on Hoof.  Hoof looks kind of like shell to me, in low light and with my glasses off.

Scale is considered skin, so you can made alligator scale purses.

Is it?  I've never gotten any reactions to tan it.  (Much to my chagrine -- I seriously wanted to make some hydra scale armor, or hideously-valuable clothing for my dorfs and dorf children to claim, strew all over the fortress and ignore.)

In fact, I have been working on setting up a new game with somebody's mod (the name of which I'm too lazy to check) that creates reactions for chitin and scale.  But, to be fair, I haven't actually gotten alligator skin -- maybe it's different?

Try adding [MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:TAN_MAT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:LEATHER] to [MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SCALE_TEMPLATE] in material_template_default.txt?

Yes, I did read that, but, while it nominally says they can be used, I didn't see it happening in-game.

Actually, I just did a few hours ago, and will be trying it out.
