Ok so I have a ball python that I bought about a year ago. I knew it was Wild caught and she was a proven breeder as well. She was fine when I got her but soon after my first attempt to breed her about 6 months ago she completely refused food. Normally not a problem for breeding ball pythons they tend to not eat in "breeding season" so I though nothing of it... until she started loosing a MASSIVE amount of weight sign of parasites so. and long story short my vet moved to phoenix az and I have no other vet near my location so what is the MOST HUMANE way to put a PET snake to sleep, I would like to avoid the freezer method as it is NOT painless it is a myth that they feel nothing when cold they actually feel everything but they are to cold to move away from what is causing the pain.
(I used to work at my reptile vets hospital until she moved then we didnt care for reptiles or birds anymore)
Please help and do realize I am in the process of trying to find a new vet I KNOW that the best thing for her is a vet. But no one around me care for reptiles anymore
