quickly, softly, and painlessly

I breed mice and rats. So, I just let the snakes take care of it.

Didn't work.
I despise touching them so I used tongs to choke them.
Made me cry.
So I just put one at a time with tongs in a paper bag and
Basically hit the side with the head against the wall. One hit and they are gone.
Again please don't hate me becuz I fee bad enough everytime I have to do this. And I really wish it didn't urk me so much to touch them.

Why don't you just buy already killed rodents? F/T is great to avoid having to touch them, and then the rodents don't have to suffer.
I do want to point out that every method you have listed of dispatching a rodent is very inhumane for the animal, even the last method if not done properly.
With F/T you can just pick them up with hemostats or tongs, defrost and then offer. If your snakes will not take F/T, then you may want to consider overcoming your dislike for touching rodents or rehome the snakes that won't take F/T.
Hopefully some of that helps.
OP: All my animals take F/T so I don't really have to dispatch rodents. IF i started breeding and did it that way, then I'd use a CO2 chamber. It seems to be the least painful and most humane way of euthanizing rodents of most sizes.

I half-way feel like a complete jerk for laughing as hard as I did at that but there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a tender heart! And honestly, I'm laughing because if I didn't know better, I would have thought my wife wrote that...! Take care!

Re: How do you pre-kill your rodents?
Well I feed f/t but when I had my hatchlings making the transition I would pre kill mice by putting the rodent in a small snake bag and giving it an extremely hard fast strike to a brick wall.
Barbaric, not how I wanted it done. But I read it was quick and painless, and hey the snakes needed to eat. I don't intend to breed my own feeders ever. So the instance in which I'd have to do this is rare.
If you can do the whole gas chamber thing I hear that works great. I could never quite figure out the setup because I'm stupid
