If I can kill rats to feed to my snake- rats that are perfectly healthy and deserve a "shot" at life, and are living breathing creatures than I should be able to make the same decision towards the snakes in my collection. I wouldn't put in vet bills for my feeder rats now I would I?

lol, i just find this funny. the only reason we would dispatch a rat is for food. you wouldn't be feeding anything the snake, just killing it.
is your snake a feeder? no.
in my opinion, if you have animals as a business and refuse to get them vet care when needed, you should have animal control called on you.
what would happen if the pet stores were just killing sick animals at will? no more pet store.
