It seemed so wrong, but felt so right...

I have to agree with bruce on this but i feed live and simply what i do is put a pencil in the rats mouth unless the snake grabs it in which a way the rat can not fight back such as biting the face and constricting when put the pencil in their mouth they chew until they die then i move to the next snake simple no crushing it was just common sense to me but crushing the rat on the other hand is a different story that is not common sense that is just narcissistic now I'm not trying to take a shot at you but what you did was extremely over the top.

That is a new one. Never heard of sticking a pencil in a rodents mouth. Great - nope, don't think I'll be doing that either. Sorry, I just don't see it....I don't see how pinching the tongs was more cruel...really a pencil? What about the lead, the splinters, the opportunity for the snake to get hurt by that....that is by far the wildest definition I have heard called humane....
