You don't need a gas chamber to humainly kill them. I wont be using one.
There are other much simpler ways.

Well been talking to a guy today who used to breed Burmese (very good family friend but didn't know about his ex-snake addiction lol) anyway he used to breed feeder mice and rats.
And he said he used to just hold the pinkie up as soon as it was born and flick it on the back of the head and chuck it in the freezer lol.
Seems a little cruel to me personally, but I'm a bit soft with things like that. |

The term "Feeder mice" just means to find them to your snake.
I'm not trying to make you out to be thick but you made it sound like you thought they were a whole different kind of mouse lol.
Just buy some adults and let them go at it.
On another note from mice, I have also been told to buy a couple of adult rabbits to breed for Boa food.
But I'm not 100% if I could kill them or not :/ |
