drowning a mouse?
hey everybody im getting a baby BP soon and ive decided i wanna feed it freshly killed food. i hear bad sides about live and frozen food so i figure ill feed it fresh killed. the problem is i dont think i have the heart to slam a mouse on a counter or somthing to kill it lol i was wondering if i could just like stick its head under water and drown it? cus then the mouse would keep its scent and i could just dry it off and feed the snake right after?

drowning is a far more painful, horrible and prolonged death than slamming it agianst a table.

Re: drowning a mouse?
Do not drown a mouse.. that is incredibly inhumane..
Just feed live. Snakes also do not suffocate their prey if they can help it, rather they try to pinpoint the heartbeat and stop blood-flow to the brain and organs. This shuts down the body a lot faster than suffocation does.

Re: drowning a mouse?
I suggest either feeding live or f/t unless you have a humane way of euthanizing the rodent. I feed all of my ball pythons live, and none of them has ever been hurt.
