This is a Gas Chamber using CO2, using baking soda and vinegar, to do in the prey rodents we feed our snakes. Everybody has access to these as opposed to dry ice or CO2 gas and there is no risk of burning yourself as with the dry ice (really cold stuff). The idea was initially brought up in another thread,
How do you kill?? The info for how to go about it was mostly found on a page that focused on doing euthanasia on pets at home. I trimmed a lot of the touchy feely feel good stuff out because I am not overly concerned about the preys’ emotional well being (don’t want them freaked but they don’t need to know they are loved either). You will find the link to that site on this page. The whole thing cost about $5 CDN to put together plus some bits and pieces lying around the house and is cheap and easy to use (2cups of vinegar & 3 tbsp of baking soda per run)
. I have used this CO2 Chamber on mice with no problems and don’t foresee any problems with rats. . I’ll keep you posted if I do have any problems as I have some that will be hoppers in the next week or so and will be about the right size for my BP’s
