As far as I know, theres no laws that prevent you from breeding/culling mice for your snake.
You'd only have to be careful if you was planning on live feeding.
Is it just the one snake you have? Only it seems like a lot of hassle breeding mice to feed just one snake.

Well, as long as you do it within the comfort of your own home and do not broadcast it publicly, it is OK.
Will you be feeded live, or killing them then feeding?
Live feeding is.. shall we say frowned upon.. as its not worth the risks, as its a last resort for non feeders. There are mixed opinions on live feeding, its stress on both animal, the prey item could defend its self and slash, or kill, the snake.

Ah, so you can make your own c02 chamber, which is the most humane and wont make a mess of your mice,
a C02 chamber is, if i got this right, basically a sealed tub with c02 pumped in there, a little bit first to know the mice out, then when they're asleep turn it up to sufocate them. May be a bit too much detail for some members.
