    I know it's not the right way.... but I always favour freezing.... done gradually, I believe (I hope) they go torpid and start to enter a hibernation state before the ice crystal thing becomes painful. I can't bring myself to use the hammer.

    Jamie is taking care of it now. He'll do it with enough force to make sure it is painless. Thank you all for the help... my first thought was decapitation so I do appreciate the advice on that.

    I'm going to bed. Sleep well, little Curious. I'm so sorry.

    I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I personnally use the freezer. My hope is that by the time the body starts to freeze the snake has slipped into unconsciousness. Being cold-blooded it only makes sense that at some temp. they will not be awake. I can't back any of this up with scientific evidence but this method gives me peace of mind. We invest so much of our love and emontions into these guys and then we have to say goodby. You and your little freind are in out families prayers. God Bless
