Just kidding, why don't you just feed live with tongs?

Neither of my snakes have grown up eting live. I tried feeding live to my corn once and he had no idea what to do with it. He just bit it and tried swallowing it like he would a dead one. Of coarse the mouse bit him, but luckly not hard....I had no problem killing that mouse :P after it was ded he had no problem eating it.

NO WAY , fish or rats or anything else for that matter do NOT die fast, it is a very painful way to go. I can`t believe you were told that , really, some people have no idea at all. Tracy.

the above is just my take on it...
i have no moral issues with live feeding,only concern for a snake being bit mate
cheers shaun

I hold the rat off in a distance and every time the snake has taken it with no problems but I'll invest in a taser or something as I won't leave anything live besides my snake in the cage to walk around.

Re: how to kill rats?!?! sdjkbvkdfjhvbc
A tazer doesn't work. Doesn't even knock them unconscious..... don't waste your money....

Honestly if the op would do a little research on here he would find u have advocated cervical dislocation and cranial destruction almost as long as I've been here. He just didn't take the time to see if there was a better way.
To clear the record I know a stun gun isn't going to work. I have a300,000 volt cattle prod and let's just say I know it isn't effective on most things.

Re: how to kill rats?!?! sdjkbvkdfjhvbc
Found a website that gives pretty good detail of how to euthanize them with household stuff. No need for compressed cylinders or anything like that. Simple CO2 you make yourself. Painless and effective without any beatings or blood.

Re: how to kill rats?!?! sdjkbvkdfjhvbc
If I zapped a rat with a high voltage stun gun on the head it wouldn't knock it out?

Its not exactly painless, which I believe is the goal.

I personally don't care if the mouse goes through pain, just wondering if it would knock it out or not because I don't want to stun a mouse for no reason.

Re: how to kill rats?!?! sdjkbvkdfjhvbc
No it would not. 1,000,000 volts didn't do anything but make it squeek, jump, and give a dirty look.

I've never had a problem feeding live but one of my boas is getting pretty big to where I'd feed medium rats and I'm thinking something big could do damage

From memory of my science classes twenty odd years ago it is the ampage that causes damage rather than the voltage (forgive me if i am wrong)
