It gets easier with time. I do cervical dislocation to my rats that I feed my boa and ball python. As long as the animal doesn't suffer or have some gruesome prolonged death, I just view it as part of the whole life/death cycle thing. Now if someone tortures or puts the feeder through some gruesome or horrible painful death, well I kind of frown on that. now I know in nature, they can have a horrible death but I try and make it as quick and painless as possible. And think of it this way, it went to serve a greater good and wasn't just a pointless death. And I actually prefer to feed fresh killed to my snakes vs F/T. I just view it as a "home cooked meal" vs a "tv dinner"![]()
