    I stick them in a bag and then fill it up with Canned Air. Quick easy and painless!

    Re: How Do You Pre-Kill Rodents?

    my parents won't let me breed but imo co2 is the best i know people think smacking is better but they don't always die they still have brain activy sometimes...i don't want to start fights but i just think anything but co2 is cruel.

    I feed live to my girl at home, but at the shop we just whack them and toss them in.

    Re: How Do You Pre-Kill Rodents?

    The pet shop where I buy our F/T's and P/K's does their P/K's by simply placing a long screwdriver across it's neck and then one quick yank on its tail. Very quick kill. I don't like to see any animal suffer, even items that are about to become snake food.

    Re: How Do You Pre-Kill Rodents?

    I use a heavey spoon, i try to break their neck so they dont feel much pain. but i hit them as hard as possible, i think it is a way better way than by snake, (takes a while)
