nice point april, if the head and brain are damaged with a hard blow the brain cannot function anymore to feel the pain so you would think, if you decapitate the snake you really don't know for sure if the snake will be pain free, but you also have to have the guts to be able to smash the snakes head, taking the boa to the vet is probably the most humane way of putting it down, i thinkyour right that the 2nd most humane way would be smashing the head.
