[serpents-prey]

i want 2 know if you had to prekill a mouse how would u do it i don't know how the poll thing works but

1. suffocation

2. drowning

3. head truama

4. custom

if you don't like to prekill or tell me its inhumane i don't want to hear it i just want to know

[pythontricker]

i would put the rat/mouse into a box filled with helium. so then he wouldnt be in pain.

[pythontricker]

byt y do u ask. kinda creepy. you can get them prekilled at your local petco. they just do it for you. or they order them for you.

You say you have it down to a science, but you didn't mention the preferred way of doing it! CO2 asphyxiation is the method that is used by nearly all breeders who put their own rodents down. If you search some you'll find links on how to build a "gas chamber". There are several different methods to use - CO2 tank (paintball tanks work), dry ice, or vinegar and baking soda are all ways to introduce the CO2. I use the vinegar and baking soda method, but will switch to a tank as soon as I can afford the one I want!

edit - Ok, I just woke up. I see it does say suffocation, so you're good! end edit

Here, I just posted this a couple days ago, its my homemade CO2 chamber:

your right i didn't like to flick them in the nose so that they're stunned but still moving the twitching i find turns my snake on cause he starts getting excited and he constricts the mouse before eating so i don't have to worry about an awakened prey item

so I'm a head trauma person

i had heard of suffocation and drowning seemed easier to tell the truth i dabbled in all of the above and found head trauma easier
