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.

Question On Killing/Freezing Feeders
Hello everyone. I just recently aquired my first large snake, a 6 ft blood python. He is feeding on f/t giant rats and small rabbits. I was going to just buy some f/t feeders from rodent pro or some other company, but since I used to raise rabbits I know a lot of breeders who could provide me with feeders. Anyway to get to the point. I found a person who has live rabbits she will sell me for cheap, but I have never killed rabbits before so I was wondering how I would go about doing this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Abigail - the most humane way would be to set up a CO2 chamber. There are a couple of discussions on how to do this. I'll try to dig them up for you later

Its not by any means easier or less expensive than the above methods but I have also heard of people putting the animals in a sealed container and placing some dry ice in there and that kills the animal humanely.
Thoughts on that method? The biggest flaw I've heard with it is how hard it is for average joe to get a hold of dry ice.

Thanks for all of your input. I have decided to go with the CO2 chamber. I went to Wal-Mart the other day and bought a 9oz CO2 tank, since I don't have many feeders to kill. Only bad thing is that Wal-Mart doesn't fill tanks or sell the little remote with the quick release, so now I have to find a store who might. I might just look on eBay though. Luckily I'm not in a rush to build it right now as all of my feeders are too small... But I will be needing to get it together soon. Thanks again!

Most places that deal with paintballing should have CO2 & all the equipment you need. Check with local paintball clubs for info on where they get their equipment
