I don't agree with the suffocation method. Whenever I see animals being treated cruely or being killed I always automatically put myself in their shoes, so-to-speak. Suffocation is a long horrible way to die.
Obviously being put to sleep or severed at the spine is, in most cases, quick, painless and humane.
Personally I don't agree with breeding and killing the mouse anyway, especially when they are readily available in varying sizes frozen. Ok so we don't know how they've been killed when bought frozen from the shop, but nine out of ten times they've been put down humanely.
Maybe its just me, maybe I couldn't bring myself to do it - but then, I wouldn't want to do it. I love snakes, but I love all animals/creatures. I rescue spiders and insects from my house and put them outside when others in my family would just kill them!
