To say that having THAT many snakes die because of neglect is not cruelty is ridiculous. I don't care what happens to your electricity you can't simply leave them to die! That's like saying that I let my dog die, I just didn't have the money to keep feeding it so I didn't. He obviously bought them from somewhere. Take them back, put an add in the paper/craigslist/online/the telephone pole outside walmart, something!

Also, freezing is NOT really all that of a great way to euthanize. Think about what it would be like to have individual cells of your body burst as the water in them slowly froze. The periphery of the body would freeze before the snake/reptile actually dies. If you have no other options to euthanize a reptile, you can use the cool down in the fridge and then transfer to the freezer method, but even then I would have questions regarding the pain it caused the animal.
