I have chosen to use liquid CO2 for my purposes for a few reasons; firstly, a 10 lb. tank of CO2 can be purchased or rented fairly inexpensively and stored safely as CO2 is inflammable.

i liked the link about building your own CO2 chamber. just thought i would point out that it says CO2 is inflammable which makes it safe to store......doesnt make much sense to me.

What doesn't make sense about it?

Flammable + Heat = Boom
Inflammable + Heat = No Boom (of course with enough heat, and enough of an increase in pressure, there is always a risk)

Makes perfect sense to me.

in·flam·ma·ble ( P ) Pronunciation Key (n-flm-bl)
adj.
Easily ignited and capable of burning rapidly; flammable. See Usage Note at flammable.
Quickly or easily aroused to strong emotion; excitable.

Usage Note: Historically, flammable and inflammable mean the same thing. However, the presence of the prefix in- has misled many people into assuming that inflammable means “not flammable” or “noncombustible.” The prefix -in in inflammable is not, however, the Latin negative prefix -in, which is related to the English -un and appears in such words as indecent and inglorious. Rather, this -in is an intensive prefix derived from the Latin preposition in. This prefix also appears in the word enflame. But many people are not aware of this derivation, and for clarity's sake it is advisable to use only flammable to give warnings.

The hands down simplist way to build a CO2 chamber is to get yourself a large plasticware thing or a new garbage bin with a snug top. You then place a riser in the middle of the container to place dry ice (avaible at your grocery store) on. You put your rodents in the bottom of the container, place the dry ice on the riser and close the top. The CO2 is heavier then air and will fill the bottom of the container first. A gentle non stressful death will occur for the rodents.

Just remember, before doing this make sure you understand all the saftey issues that arrise from using and handling CO2. The riser is important as you don't want your prey items coming into contact with the dry ice.
