There's been a few times when I've needed to put animals down. At one point, I tried placing one in my rat co2 chamber, I assumed it would work in a similar fashion to the way it works on the rats. I was very wrong. It took a very very long time, and I agonized about taking the animal out of the chamber.
But, with these sort of things, once you've started its best not to stop in my opinion.
I've also at one time tried decapitation as a method of euthanasia, but my results were just as Kathy mentioned. It was one of the saddest things I've seen.
I've not had to put a snake down for quite some time, but if I did I think I would most likely do as Kathy mentioned, fridge then freezer.
