When and How to Euthanize a Snake

It's a subject nobody likes talking about, but you need to be prepared for when that day comes. In this video I discuss how to know "when" it's best to euthanize a snake, and the currently-recognized best ways to do it. If you're like me though, you'll probably do best just bringing your snake to the vet.

Don't worry, no snakes are actually euthanized in this video!
