Glad to hear it went well Suken, the thought of killing animals does get easier the more you do it.

Yeah..Thanks.And i got a new Q : My mom always turn the music very very LOUD ... Can it make the snake stress ? I use an UTH with 20x20cm size with 60x45x40cm tank. And a red light exo tera 40w night bulb ( only turn on at night ) . Does that make the tank too hot ?? at night ??

Loud music can stress a snake because of the vibrations from the sounds, the snake will be able to feel it through the floor of its tank.

Belly heat (from below) is best for corns, most of us use heatmats. I dont know much about bulbs. The temps of your viv should be 28-30c in the hot end and 24-26c in the cold end, measured with a decent digital thermometer.

tell her to turn the music down - the vibrations will scare the snake and if really stressed could stop feeding..

I am so glad you have been able to feed your snake and I think you have been very strong to be able to kill a pinky to be able to look after your snake - you are obviously caring very much for your snake.
It is very important that the music is turned down. Snakes feel sound/vibrations, and loud music will vibrate his vivarium which will seriously stress him. A stressed snake may not eat and it is very unhealthy for it. Try and get your mum to understand what is important for the snake so she understands why she needs to turn her music down.

I understand exactly what you are saying Suken, but I thought you were doing the neck dislocation? throwing them against the wall may just stun or badly injure the mice, so they may be in terrible pain without you knowing.

The sound wont be loud as they have very small bones and all you are doing is dislocating the neck, not breaking it.

I just think there are kinder ways of killing a pinkie than throwing it at the wall...

If you feed your snake live food now, it is likely to make it very hard for you to feed him pre-killed when he is bigger, And pinkies arent just meat, they are animals that can feel pain just as much as any other animal.

Why cant you ask your mum to buy you all the things for a C02 chamber? if you explain the problems you are having I'm sure she wouldnt mind.

another method of killing is to flick the pinkie very hard just at the back of the head, at the very top of the neck. This should kill it quickly due to massive trauma to the brain.

Just because their eyes aren't open doesn't mean they can't suffer. They're alive and have fully developed nervous systems.
