I've also heard of using alcohol, but I hope i never have to resort to that. That being said, if i had big snakes of my own, there would be some alcohol handy for emergencies. I'm in college, not highschool by the way. Still cool to have all the snakes around though . Probably over a hundred all together. Sand boas, red tails, rainbows, retics, balls, burms, corns, kings, copperheads, rattlers, cotton mouths, rats, milks, water snakes......

bullfrogs, box turtles, snapping turtles, leopard geckos, various newts, a euromastic, poison dart frogs, whites tree frogs, pacman toad (nothing like a frog that eats a few mice a sitting), pinktoe tarantula, emperor scorpion.......

Im sure im missing some along the way, but theres an idea. Oops.... mice, rats, crickets, mealworms, super worms..... (gotta love feeders)
