If you don't mind me asking, how did you do it? I'm prepared to do what I have to do, but I just don't know what the best way would be.

Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
my breeder friend gave me the option of decapitation or crushing the skull, we chose to crush the skull, destroying the brain instantly, I thought that would be the fastest, surest method.

DO NOT DECAPITATE as there will be pain involved
one fast hard blow to the head,with a lump hammer,is imo the quickest PAIN FREE way to euthanize
full cranial destruction occurs,before any pain has time to register

That does sound like the best way, I just hope I won't have to do it any time soon.

Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
I won't lie, it really sucked to have to do that. especially to one out of my very first clutch.
But then again, when my old man's (doggie) time comes, that will suck too, but it won't stay my hand as I won't let him suffer, I love him too much

Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
I found it harder to euthanize animals for eating than i do euthanizing a pet, with a pet your love for them and not seeing them in pain makes it easy.
