I haven't been here in about a year (been really busy), but I really need help.

OK, I have a ribbon snake who appears to have a tumor or growth on his body towards his head, and he kind of twitches his head around when he moves about. And he won't/can't eat anymore. He has interest in his fish, but won't take it.

So I think it is time for him to be put down.. I don't want him to suffer or starve to death.

How would you suggest I go about this? I have read about putting them in the freezer, injecting them with rubbing alcohol, decapitation, running over them with a car, and putting them in hot water. Non sound very humane to me, except maybe putting them in the freezer, since it would be kind of like hibernation.

Do you have any suggestions on the methods I posted, and what do you recommend? I really want his death to be as least painful as possible, though I am sure you all agree. This is so sad.
