    Re: deformed pics

    I was reading an article on decapitation....snakes have a tolerance for low oxygen levels....decapitation isn't the best....head will survive for a while. I have heard freezing is painful, never read any articles on that tho... another probably more expensive way is euthanasia performed by a vet....it's an injection and painless...

    I have always figured that I can put them into a brumation temperature first, then freeze, and the fact that they are already sleeping will make it not be painful...
