MY SON HAS 2 RETICS AND A BURM
IT`S GETTING TO BE A PROJECT WITH THE RSTS
YOU DON`T LIKE TO GIVE THE SNAKES LIVE RATS BECAUSE THE RATS MIGHT BITE OR SCRATCH
HE DOESN`T LIKE FROZEN , BUT FRESH KILLED
IT`S GETTING GROSS SLAMMING A RAT AGAINST A WALL( SOMETIMES BLOODY)
WE ALSO HAVE TRIED PUTTING THEM IN A ZIP-LOC BAG UNTIL THEY SUFOCATE. THAT GETS MESSY TOO , THEY PISS AND POOP ALOT ,AND END UP SMELLY
WE`VE HEARD OF USING C.O. 2 TO PUT THEM TO SLEEP
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO RIG
C.O.2 CARTRIDGE FROM A PAINT GUN SO YOU CAN SPRAY THE C.O.2 INTO A CONTAINER TO EUTHANIZE THE RATS?
I KNOW PEOPLE DO IT , BUT I DON`T KNOW HOW .
ANY SUGESTIONS

get a co2 tank and a rubbermaid tub connect a hose from the tank to the tub make a place for the oxygen to escape and let it rip seen it on the burm forum

Yeah, I made one a few years ago for feeding my Burms. Here's the link to the thread I believe "toddhowudoing" was referring to. forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1303537,1303537

There's a link to pics of the CO2 chamber I made as well as a link to another one. Don't hesitate to ask any questions, I'd be more than glad to help.

Have a good one!
