operation sleeping Mouse...

Do any of you know if chloroform is legal in canada? because to me that sounds like the ultimate sollution.. the Mouse will be sleeping (breathing) when I put him in.. (i made a mistake of giving my BP a live mouse... and now he wont eat a frozen one!) and yes i have tried alot of different methods of feeding him the frozen one. But when i fed him a live one i hit it over the counter... it went pretty well......but i felt horrible (yes i am a pussy) so i dont want to hit the mouse over the head again or physically hurt it in any way....any suggestions?

Don't know if it's legal or not.

I would look into whether or not the chloroform could hurt the snake.

Have a good day

Or look into making a CO2 chamber...

Have you let your snake go hungry for a few weeks??? He might like the looks of a thawed mouse if he didn't just eat a few days ago...
