Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I agree, I would make the two with bad eyes into "freezer pets".
As for the baby with the full belly, just keep it nice and warm.
Personally I keep my guys a little hotter than 87. My tubs are usually always a toasty 90 or so INSIDE, not just the heat tape temperature.
Good luck!

dying in a freezer is an awful way to go! you are the reason they have come into the world. you owe them the decency of a clean quick death. buy dry ice and put it and the snakes in a small sealed container if they must be put down. the carbon dioxide will put them down. they will run out of air, pass out (sleep) and die- with no pain.
good luck.

Contrary to popular belief, asphyxiation is NOT the way you want to try and put down your reptiles. This works great for mammals, but it is long and painful process for reptiles. I've known people who tried it, and they regretted it due to how long it takes, and the obvious torment the reptiles went through.
Although freezing is a sucky way to do it, it is quicker then the CO2 Chamber. FYI

if that's true it's good to know. I would then cut the head off, I guess, or I would have to think hard on for a swift process.

Ok, let's get this out here... the vet can put them down or you can put them down. The best way is blunt force head trama (completely destroy the head, not just decapitate). This is not for the faint of heart. I've also talked to someone that culled his by basically dispatching like you would a rat or mouse (wacking the head on a hard surface as quickly as possible). IF you are going to go the freezer route please, please make sure you put the snake in a container (tupperware or something) and place in the fridge first for an hour or so, then the freezer. I've always been told this is the better method and slows them down and kind of eases them into the death instead of taking from a warm room directly into the freezing cold of the freezer. Freezing causes ice crystals to form in the blood which is thought to be quite painful. I've done both, prefer the blunt force trama, but it's not always easy to do. Good luck and here's some reading about it:

I hate Kaplans site. Plenty of good info, but most is heisted from other peoples hard work. No original thoughts at all.
Back on topic sorta...if you truly want to be humane about it, then you need a vet with a lethal injection. Nothing else has been proved humane. When I get home from work I'll try to find the link for some info on this.

It has been done. Hammer and cardboard. Just have to remember they aren't suffering anymore.
