I'm still wondering if I want to breed rats for my bp. What would be a good killing method?I would like to freeze them after their dead because I feed f/t rodents to my bp. Could you use rubbing alcohal to make them pass out and then freeze them?
Thanks!

Killing techniques
CO2 is definately the best way to go - it's like putting them to sleep. Plus there are no possible residue effects that could end up in your snake. And you can do large numbers at one time.

Just put them in a bag and smack em against the floor, wall, etc. Quick, easy, and cost effective.

Yeah...if/when I end up breeding my own feeders, CO2 is the way I'll go.

I usually do the "whack" method. But I'll probably be experimenting with cO2 or dry ice soon, because my baby rats are growing really fast and I do not want them getting too big for my bci and smaller bp to eat.
Breeding rats is pretty easy, as long as you have a healthy female to start out with. Both of the ones I have now are great mothers; one even gave me a NICE bite on my finger when I was removing one of the fuzzies to feed my bci. Not sure I blame her, though. It was my fault for getting too close, but BOY did she dart across that tank when my hand came in!
