i found a new use for co2

[WicKeD_WaYz]

tonight was time to feed my 5 foot long ball python. since he eats prekilled large rats i usually hit them over the back of the head really hard. does the trick.

anyways tonight i experimented with killing a rat with co2.
i ziplocked him up and took my quick disconnect off my gun and put it in the bag with him. Then got out my old 20 oz. gassed up. he was dead within 5 seconds.

it was awesome!!

That's uh, disturbing.....

[Archangel Kid]

Hmm.... come on all together now... Animal cruelity....

[WicKeD_WaYz]

answer me this. would you like to be bitten and constricted by a snake until you suffocate? or quickly and painlessly fall asleep and die in your sleep.

its nature guys the mouse is going to die either way, the reason for prekilled is to make sure your snake doesnt get bit in the process.

That is wrong on soo many lvls.. but I guess you have to feed your pet...

Actually, it is more cruel to hit the mouse or feed it alive than to suffocate it. The mouse probably didn't feel anything, seeing as it was breathing co2. Unless I'm wrong, co2 is probably a better method. Would you rather have your head smashed, or be quickly suffocated?

lol pretty tight dude. i found co2's a good way to put out fires.

Well duh, fires need oxygen to burn!

It may be more humane, but this is the disturbing part...

[Jack_Dubious]

Theres nothing wrong with what he is doing. The rat is the snakes food. What he is doing is much more humane than what happens to the cows and the chickens we eat.

But the "it was awesome" comment kinda disturbs me.

heh heh I was just excited that I had an idea and it actually worked out. I guess when you think about it im not really as smart as I thought i was with the co2 thing.

common since tells me without oxygen something is going to die

I don't want to be the Devil's Advocate here, But nature
has Always gone on with Snake's eating they're prey "LIVE".
Anyone who has ever owned reptile's as pet's should know
this.
Dude there is something Seriously Wrong with you're snake,
if it won't eat Live Prey.

Or do you just not want to wait long enough to see the Kill.

i think he stated, that he didnt want to see the snake get injuered in the process, as in getting bitten, cause that happens. but i want to know where you get large rats? the pet store? and then you kill them yourself? that is madness if that is the case.

no there is nothing at all wrong with my snake. yes in the wild snakes do eat live prey. Live prey also has the ability to inflict serious damage to a snake or even kill it. Think of a large cornered rat with those long nasty teeth fighting for its life. Considering that i feed him once a week odds are he will eventually get extremely hurt. I started giving him prekilled food when he moved up to rats. He has eaten live prey for 2 years before that. There is NOTHING wrong with giving a captive snake prekilled prey. Any experienced snake owner/breeder will agree with me.

Live prey is a risk. I personally have known a snake that died from a rat...


ok ok time to stop rambling you get the idea
