Hello, well i have noticed that freezing is not a good way for euthanasia. So I would like to know how do you think that is a good method for eutahsia of reptile EMBRYOS? for a reseach for example, to study the development....
Thanks

I haven't yet seen mention of using a CO2 chamber. I would think this would be another more humane option. CO2 is fairly readily available, at least in the States, right? More so than barbituates, I would think, but I do not know where one would get a hold of CO2, as I never used it.

I had to put a rescued leopard gecko to sleep. I turned off his light and heating pad 36 hours before moving him out of the tank. Then, I put him in the refridgerator for twelve hours, then the freezer.

When I moved him from the refridgerator to the freezer, his eyes were closed, and he was curled up. So cold. I felt horrible, but it had to be done.

I buried him that weekend and planted orange chrysanthemums over him.

RIP Greg.
