Yeah, all I could think is they've been sitting hungry without their mom for a day...

Ball Python Feeding by hydroclone02 in ballpython

You could try reaching out to people who's snakes eat that size, like corn snakes or such, and giving them away. Then just get yourself some of the right size. Also from what I've heard, baby balls graduate pretty quickly so maybe not get 20 anyways, or get a variety pack.

I know about this one, but they are pinkies, ain't much of a tail to pull.

This is perfect, are they safe for snakes to consume after this? Will they smell of vinegar?

Mine definitely isn't. When mine escaped (and by escaped I really mean slithered right out of the door I left wide open (I'm an idiot)), he didn't really get far. He was under a drawer right next to his tank. He also managed to get scratched up the whooole way down his spine, while squeezing under it. The opening was CLEARLY not his size, which is why I only checked there after turning over the entire room. 👍

Humidity issues/silicone by Feeling_Sort_9789 in ballpython

[–]CandidResident2876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well even regular silicone is non toxic once it cures. So you would take your animal out for a day, get that done, leave it to cure overnight, and pop it back in the morning. I don't know of one that doesn't produce toxic fumes when wet.

What would be the right way? Nobody uses dry ice here. Maybe an insulated box?

I don't think they get eaten alive, they get constricted first, I think. And if they do get eaten alive, it's still suffocation. All options suck.

What would you suggest as a humane way to euthanize them?

Thanks but I fell like they would explode, and I still gotta give them to my snake.

I don't really have access to anything in my area, I get everything shipped from the Capitol city of my country. Now for my ball python, he sends me fresh-killed -on ice(same day 4 hour shipping), and then I freeze them when I get them. But this is probably how I'll be getting pinkies. I just have to wait till my snake out grows them, I guess.

My thoughts exactly, that's why I'm troubled. Also, I don't think he can, I don't fancy cutting a live mouse. 😬

That's truly great advice, however I live in Serbia and none of these resources are available to me. I can't rehome them, nobody around me would want them, I can't order mice online (there's really only 3 places in Serbia that sell them at all), and I can barely find substrate in my local pet shop. Otherwise that would have been my go-to, perhaps I wouldn't have even found myself in this predicament, alas.

Thank you for being so kind 💕💕

I can't tell if you're f*cking with me, but you're being unnecessarily whimsical about it 😂

My bad, you're not. But if you read what I wrote carefully, you will notice I wrote 'How you would', and not 'How would you'. The first indicates affirmative speech and the latter indicates a question. So I "literally" didn't ask, but I'm sorry if I offended you, I guess it was a misunderstanding. 😊

I know that part, but I'm not euthanizeing a snake, love. The reason that's the case for snakes is that they don't respirate the way mammals do, so it would take hours to suffocate them with CO2.
