Wack and give it to the snake. Next time ask the store to wack it for you. This is a fact of life when keeping snakes.
Cheers,
Trevor

You could pet him and hold him and squeeze him tight and call him George.

rats don't suck as pets! I have 3!
some can be as smart as 2 yr old children, they can be potty trained, and taught to come when called. They are playful and cuddly.
Anyways, now that I'm done defending rats as pet 
Easiest way to get rid of it would be to whack it, HARD, as if you don't do it hard enough all you do is knock it out.
Or, put it in a rubbermaid, with aspen, and food (just about anything will work ) and don't forget water.
If you must, next time have the store whack it for you, or buy frozen.

I have to agree with saphire on this one.. rats are cool pets i got a couple myself and they are really smart once they figure something out they can easily repeat it over and over again makes them easy to train. for your problem tyler i'd just give the rat food and water like suggested above and get pre-killed for your snake next time. safer that way too and less stressfull for you.

I'm sure your pet store will take it back from you. Tell them you don't want it and don't want money in return either. It saves you from killing it and saves you from having to keep it.

Rats ARE pretty cool (*the best rodent out there IMO) but as smart as a two year old HUMAN? None of the humans I've made or met!
