Yes, I was amazed at how quickly they killed them with just jaw pressure and smashing them into the ground and walls. The mice looked just like they had been constricted, eyes all bugging out and all. I think they take them out by putting a HUGE bite on them and the critter going into shock or something. Awesome snakes!
