Okay. I apologize beforehand if this is asked a lot.
I need to know the most humane/easiest way for me to kill a medium rat quickly. I just adopted an adult male ball python and he's on medium rats. He has been eating live all of his life, and has been attacked by rats numerous times. I want to switch him to frozen/thawed, but I don't have any frozen medium rats..only small hopper mice that I'm feeding my baby BCI. I don't have time to order more frozen rats, because I need to feed him sometime within the next couple of days. This will be my first time killing a rat. Note: I also have kept rats as pets in the past, and currently have one very large male rat that I keep as a pet. So, this will be hard for me, but I am prepared to do what I have to to ensure the saftey of the snake. Please help! Thanks so much.
Also: he has an AMAZING feeding response for a ball python. He ate a freshly killed rat last week (my brother killed the rat..I didn't watch him do it or anything, all I know is he slammed it on a table), and took no time to devour it. But, my brother does not live with me and it was only by chance that he was at my house that day. Sorry for babbling
