    How Do You Pre-Kill Rodents?

    I leave it to the snake. I only have one snake who is picky and eats live. Other than that it's all f/t. But my breeder kills by co2.

    I chase them down with my car, it seems more natural that way.

    Re: How Do You Pre-Kill Rodents?

    I usually feed live or f/t (easier), but if I have a scaredy snake, sometimes I'll CO2 'um in a DIY chamber (incredibly easy to make one of these, BTW).

    When I fed pre-killed, I euthanized with a C02 chamber.

    The CO2 chamber is the way to go. When you have to snuff out a bunch at once you need a clean easy way to do it. The CO2 does that.

    Re: How Do You Pre-Kill Rodents?

    When I fed pre killed, I had the guys at the store kill them. They did it just by slamming them against a hard surface. I don't go there anymore though. The people I get my feeders from have a CO2 chamber though.
