Re: how do you kill your rats when feeding pre-killed?
I feed live mostly, but I do gas large rats partially to wobble them, it gives the snake a shot at killing it live but groggy.
I hate whacking rats, but to each his/her own.

I can't say this for everywhere, but around here a lot of our locally-owned pet shops will kill them for you, if you ask. That's the route I took when I had a red-tail boa, BIG live rodents and killing things are not my cup of tea.

You can just put it in a pillow case and whack on the ground! That will kill it with one shot instantly!
