As of 2002, the American Humane Association deemed freezing a humane way of euthanasia in SMALL reptiles. While I have questions on this, it is considered (or at least was when my paperwork was dated) by American Humane Association to be humane.

American Humane Association is the primary organization that teaches the Euthanasia Certification course to shelter employees. The classwork aims more at dogs and cats, however the paperwork is dated 2002. This may have changed.
