If you have a paintball store in your area that could be easier I suppose, but I imagine that everyone has baking soda and vinigar, as for feeding f/t that is easier too, if your snake will eat that, and you don't have to go through a hassle to get them. I posted this for those of us for whome other options are not so readily available. One should not assume that what is easy for one is easy for another. I never said it was easier this way but I did say that it was a good option for those of us who
don't have great access to dry ice or other meathods of painless death.
