Actually, most mice and rodents killed for reptiles are simply given pure CO2 first then frozen. If you think about it, a snake takes a live rodent in the wild, wraps its body around it, and constricts it more and more until the rodent can not breath anymore, and it suffocates- as it goes through all the trauma. Freezing is actually less traumatic, though CO2 is the least. If one can not deal with the fact that something has to die in order for the snake to eat... that person might want to re think their interest in keeping snakes.
