I had a question about feeding that i needed some help with. I have had my boa for about 3 months now and had been feeding him live mice so far. I know that some people will want to ring my neck for doing so but i think i learned my lesson. Today he had some trouble killing the mouse and the mouse started biting back so i flicked it in the face really quick and i think i knock it out cold. Im convinced now that dead mice would be a better option but wanted to know how i should kill the mouse without feeling all too cruel.

Maybe you should give your boa some smaller prey.You can kill the mouse by holding its head and to pull its tail
