Are you going to use a four foot long pith? Or are you going to pin the snake down, restrain it by the neck and then stick your pith in it’s brain? From what I recall in basic biology class, the pith is used to keep the animal alive so that when you dissect, you can see the heart still beating. They did say pith and scramble the brains though, didn’t they? Well have fun with that you PETAfiles.

What's wrong with cooling?
