Then, bring the container inside to feed the snake? Doing this several times exposes you to some C02. Yes, very little but the amount of exposure to opening that container each time in your snake room I feel would be wiser outside. I have teddy bear's breeding way faster then my mice. I dont know if it is the female or male that can not reproduce. I prob will go by a young adult male mouse bec. they do not sale female mice. Maybe rats they might have a female... They even choose the males for pinkies are furry babies. I tried to save one. It had hair already but it the store had them dieing. They should have a mother to go back to. Nope, they just die in the containers from no heat. This is PetSmart by the way.

Just for suggestions, would it be smarter to open the container outside.

Thanks for subscribing!

lol

Humane? Did you iss the part about how he hides them away so that he doesn't see them struggle.

@@fergysmith5904 what else is he supposed to do, cuddle the box?

@@evelynrodriguez4770 use Nitrogen, from either brewery or welding supply. This is so simple.

@@fergysmith5904 this is how the veterinarian does it.

Good point!

Chris Hardwick I think you’re channel is going to get big. I was with snake discovery at like 20,000 and now they’re 1.8million. You get recommended on the same type of videos x

Good point but. i love rats and hamsters its just hurtful to see them like that 😶😭

That’s true. I go hunting in the freezer section and cognitive dissonance helps me believe steak grows on trees. Chicken is harvested in the garden.. yes that’s totally how it happens

yeah, that's what i thought, too.

Thanks for the sub!

Could be!

Mouse would have just fallen asleep.. pretty boring.. they don’t gasp with co2 that’s why it’s so humane.(unless it’s giving way too much to fast)

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures what kind of regulator did youuse

tf?

its only you man

It's even better if you can use frozen thawed rodents, most people never keep or breed live rodents, although I think it's worth it in the long run. You can order frozen through the mail from places like Rodent Pro.

Savannah Heltsley I love you

@@countryboy5290 she's Underage

I have pet mice too and believe me, they jump like crazy.

It's definitely true what he said about rats too. Man, my pet rats are FEARLESS! I was moving them from playroom to cage last night and all 3 jumped from my shoulder to the floor (about 5 feet) with no issue. They didn't get hurt since they jumped to a blanket on my floor, but I have to be careful with them because heights don't scare my rats haha

I noticed that too! LoL it's so funny. I love mice and rats. They're so fun and adorable 💙 and smart as hell too.

Depends on how much co2 we are talking t, if it is a big container it could leak and kill you in your sleep.

The problem with co2 is it is already in the air so you may not realize you aren't getting enough oxygen until you pass out. The house is an isolated area so the co2 could build. Up.

@@KillerofGods it would have to be a big container. I cull rats the same way and with the little c02 it takes to put rats to sleep it won't affect a human. It's if there is a constant leak from a main supply you would have issues

You will know if there is a build up of CO2 in your blood stream. That feeling of wanting to breathe when you hold your breath is not because of a lack of oxygen it is because there is a build up of CO2 in your blood that you are holding in because you are not exhaling. Carbon Monoxide is the gas that is deadly and can knock you out and kill you without you being aware of it. CO2 canisters are running inside of restaurants at there soda machines all over the place.

Kieran draper my friend just got her house tested for co2 levels. She's being hospitalized now. Def limit co2 in the house.

I know, the pet store prices are crazy! Maybe not too bad if you have one big snake that eats once a month LOL

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for subscribing!!

Are soft furs not a healthy choice for snakes . We have 4 females and one male but there still baby's .

Thanks! I try LOL

Nothing humane about killing for food lol

Actually I've increased times to 5 minutes. After 5 minutes all juvenile and adult rats won't come back, but really young pinkies will, you need to do 10 minutes or longer on those. I did three minutes on a huge male rat and gave it to my big retic and after a couple minutes it came back to life! Now I do five minutes LOL

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures Thank you very much for all the useful information! Saved the video for when the time comes that I will need it, thank you for the reply! :)

@@Blacat the reason you wait 3 minutes (or 5, or whatever) is that the initial exposure only knocks them out. The gas is constantly flowing into the container at a chosen concentration. The continued exposure resented removed all of the oxygen and they breathe nothing but CO2. But just like it takes several minutes to kill a human by cutting off oxygen (for example, suffocating or strangulation), a rat has to be without oxygen long enough to actually die. The reason he puts it outside but opens it inside is that while the task is on outside, it's constantly telling the tub with the gas, so you wouldn't want that leaking inside the house if there was a malfunction, but once it's turned off, the gas still in the tub isn't a large amount and isn't being replenished anymore, so it's safe to open indoors.

Yes, it was a tough video to make. A lot of people really send a lot of hate this way for this video, but a lot of people ask for this one. Raising rodents sounds like a good idea until you have to gas them...

No shit he's uncomfortable. He's killing rodents

I bought the gauges on ebay and the tanks on Craig's list.

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures thanks man! Keep on keepin on

Hi Chris, can you share exactly what type of gauge you used and how you made the tank ?

That actually only happens in about 10% of mammal deaths.

How had you been doing it in the past? I'm currently investigating methods, myself; definitely want to avoid any mistakes possible...

@@tripod13mc putting them in a paper bag and smashing them really hard on my desk. Usually instant death, but not always. I HIGHLY do not recommend.

Yes, that was a tough one, almost deleted that video LOL

They do tend to be a bit more aggressive, but they can be tamed down fast with just a little handling.

I've been feeding my snake live (about to start euthanizing) and he gives me kisses when I'm handling him. I socialize him a LOT though.

Animal abuser lol. Imagine admitting to killing live for pleasure

Glad it helped!

I actually do have a small hole in the lid. If you introduce CO2 very slowly it's much better on the rodents.

theres no such thing as food grade its all the same

most of the co2 will leave the valve when he takes the hose off the valve

Mike Obrien good point! I didn’t think of that!

Yes you can.

just fyi, nitrogen is better than co2 because the animal won't feel like it's suffocating, it'll just go unconscious.

That defeats the purpose of putting CO2 in it

I actually had a rat revive after three minutes, now I keep them under for five minutes and they don't revive.

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures I'm getting ready to get into the hobby, in Colorado. Is there any kind of licensing or registration process I will need to go through to euthanize rodents to freeze? I can only seem to find info for wildlife, and that claims that the agent for euthanasia must be obtained from and supervised by a veterinarian. Any light you can shed on this topic would be greatly helpful.

No, I gas with CO2, completely harmless.

The outgoing pressure is about 2-3 PSI, you'll need a special regulator to get that low.

Good tip!

C02 burns their mucous membranes, so until they pass out, they freak a bit from the burning. Not long. I don't like it, but that's how our pork is processed, so until there's a better way...

When CO2 reaches 400 to 600 PPM you will have 10 16% cognitive reduction which is very common in low ventilated areas in high populated areas. Like Schools bedrooms and cities without proper air ventilation.

Also the United States is estimated to go above 600 parts per million by 2025

I've seen people do that indoors, kind of freaks me out.

I'd try a gas company like Airgas or General Air.

Finally found a place to get it. Apparently I have to have a tank in order for me to get co2 or swapped out because nobody would refill a paint ball tank lol spent about 120 😐
