just get a bb-gun and shoot them in the head just like they do to make those hamburgers everybody loves so much or hot dogs granted they use a bigger gun but good for our food why not good enough for a pets food.


come on people these is our pets food you think your snake will care if it's food was crushed(ha-ha-ha constrictors crush) smacked in head with a finger or what ever a sissy uses to hit them in the head cause there finger is to soft. or die a death of lets face it suffocation (you know why this is considered so human cause it knocks them out instantly) let me ask you people this that use this method i've tried a few f/t from co2 and 1 thing all the mice and rats had in common when thawed blood starting coming from nose or ears every time you know why it burst blood vessels in the throat and brains not very human other then animal was asleep and couldn't wake up to get away kind of like dieing in your car from the fumes don't know it's happening but you go to sleep then die from oxygen starvation

here read this is what your doing to be humane

dont sound so humane now does it? it is still killing no-matter how you look at it your taking a life you need to learn how to deal with it then just say oh this is a good way to kill so i don't get my hands dirty. then not to mention where does the co2 go when your done killing your mice or rats or what ever prey you use do you suck it up and use it again or leave it in the bucket to use next time or simply dump it out to help the greenhouse effect and help kill the planet 1 mouse at a time well at least the mouse died painlessly but get hundreds of thousands of snake owners doing it then we over time help kill each other but hey at least we just go to sleep and not wake up right so no biggie. oops no we die from skin cancer and other stuff from ozone layers being messed up but at least we killed our mice humanely (to bad we can't say the same about our selfs) yes i know dumping c02 into the air on the scale we use is no big deal compared to all our cars and such(i don't drive for this reason) but still it adds up in the long run

point being learn to deal with the death of a prey item there is no reason to go build a c02 chamber for just a couple bucks if you dont want to get your hands dirty there are tons of companies that sell frozen rodents and guess what they deliver also and it is actually cheaper in the long run to buy from them i checked prices at a recent show and versus even just buying if you buy a bag of frozen is actually cheaper to buy frozen then to buy live so why even get your hand dirty at all
