Re: Rats
I may get some friction for this, but...
If you do not have the heart to do it, under close supervision constriction is relatively humane, and natural for the snake.
What I do (for "population control") is place them in the BP cage at a younger age, a small weanling is a very quick kill for the python, and it's not "on you" to do the killing.
My BP has never missed the mark and got bitten yet.
However the down side to that is some BP will become fussy and only want to eat live weanlings.. ours is a garbage can and he will eat rats/mice/thawed/live or pre kill, he don't care as long as it's food.
