for those squeamish about whacking their beloved pets, putting them in
an old sock sometimes helps.

I used to have to kill mice for my pet snake, and I couldn't bear to
look at their cute little furry bodies and then smash them But it's
much more humane than letting my snake squeeze them until they're
paralized and then swallow them while they're still alive.

Not to mention the fact that killed mice are safer for the snake so they
don't bite the snake during constriction. :-) This comes up on the herp
list all the time.

You do know there are many websites to purchase fresh frozen mice?


altho i'm pretty sure even with a sock I couldn't do that to one of my
fish. I'd have to have one of my roomates do it, or go with the clove
oil method.

Clove oil???
Do tell? I've not seen anything about that.
