I felt that destruction of the brain would be the most humane method of euthanasia for a reptile but you explained it much better than I did!!

I totally understand others not liking or not being able to dispatch any animal themselves. Or even feeling it's a violent act. For those that are unable or unwilling to dispatch the snake themselves, a trip to the vet is a must. It's a product of becoming a society where most of our food is purchased at a store nicely cleaned and wrapped. Many would not know where to begin if they were put in a position where the had to kill and clean their own food.
