Is there any reason why reptiles can't be euthanized in the same manner as dogs and cats at the vet's office? I'm sure most vets wouldn't charge for this or at the very least just the cost of the dose. I haven't had to deal with this yet, but I just don't think I could do the head bashing, decapitating, or freezing.

Any Vet that I have seen seems to adhere to the philosophy of the great Walt Disney which anyone that has stayed at Disney Land or Disney World knows is "Walt don't do nothin' for free." I am glad that your problem is behind you and the snakes suffering has ended.
