Years ago I had to by my mice live and had to dispatch them myself. Without trying to be too graffic, I found they bled more out the nose from bopping them on the head too far forward on the nose. There is spongy tissue in the nasal cavity that ruptures. Other than being a little messy, as long as the mice are frozen right away, I think feeding them to your snakes should be fine. I don't know which is more humane, bopping them on the head like Little Bunny Foo Foo or freezing them live. Unfortunately this is a reality when feeding captive snakes.
