Very interesting information!

I had a slight problem w/one of the mice I fed my snake last week (scratched Severus's right eye, but not badly), and I'm considering some humane euthanasia for future mice. Keep in mind that I never let a mouse loose in his tank; I always use my trusty foot-long tweezers to hold the mouse by the tail until it is snatched by His Lordship.

My brother used to have a bp back in the day, and he was told by the vet where he'd purchased his snake to "stun" the mouse before feeding it to the snake (ie, "whacking" it against the tank). Needless to say, this does not really appeal to me. What kind of methods would work best for mice?

Please excuse me if this topic has already been covered...
