A friend of mine wants to raise mice for snake food but is wondering about pre-killing. I.e. HOW to do it.



She doesn't like the idea of CO2 as the cost to build a CO2 tank is too much for her, plus she doesn't like the idea of the suffocation. I personally don't like it either, but thats something else entirely...



What she did have in mind was chloroform. I advised against it, but are there any chemists out there? I wasn't sure if it would remain in the body of the mouse and thus be injested by the snake. It just seems like too big of a risk in my opinion...but does anyone know for sure?
