If you stun them right, the snake will kill the snake in less then 10 seconds, and a heavy stun is usually lights out for a few minutes, but they still breathe, still twitch, and still have a heartbeat, so the snake will accept them.

As long as you feed live, there will always be a potential for bites, that's why I try to feed f/t or harmless baby rats, but the snakes always seem to do their thing.
I make sure to watch then until I see the tail disappear, as sometimes even when a snake constricts them they can wake up a minute or so later when the snake lets go.
Once again, this post is off of the topic from this thread. There are plenty of other threads that discuss the issues that you are bringing up.

If you wish to further debate the notion of using blunt force trauma (aka "whacking") as a humane method of euthanasia, contact the American Veterinary Medical Association and explain to them that you disagree with their findings.

Feel free to add anything about HUMANE euthanization using CO2 gas. Thanks.
