Pretty much all the gassing vids I've seen are flat out wrong.
Venting a 12gram into a closed tank suddenly is going to create a pressure wave of cold corrosive gas that is bound to induce a panic response... Not very humane imo.
You need to do the math, calculate the volume of the container you're using and create room temp gas that slowly takes the chamber to the unconscious dose... If done right then there is no panic just sedation.
Once everyone is sleeping then you can up the dose to deadly or use the cervical dislocation method Donnie mentioned to 'kill'
No clubbing, whacking, thumping etc required...
This may be why the mouse I was feeding to my friends snake(wouldn't eat F/T, only F/K and he wasn't there) woke up while in the viv as the method my friend was using wasn't the same as yours. He never upped the dose by much. Only a little bit thinking it would put the mouse to sleep. How he'd never had one wake up again I do not know but apparently it had never happened before... |
