how do you dispose of you deceased snakes?

I'm just curious as to how everyone here handles dead snakes.

obviously if it was a dear pet to you, and if you have children, you would probably want to bury it.

however, if you're a snake breeder or just own a lot of snakes, you have to deal with dead snakes a lot and likely wouldn't have the time money or willpower to dedicate to constantly burying snakes.

and if you choose to bury your snake, where do you do so? i can see how having a dead snake in your backyard might take away from your house's resale value.

lol no my snake isn't dead, but his time will indubitably come. and i do plan on breeding corn snakes, hopefully in the near future, and with breeding inevitably comes dead hatchlings, even for the best of us.

sorry if this sounds morbid. i personally think its a good question.

*your. your dead snakes.

my apologies.
silly typo.

It is a good question - one I don't know the answer too - at this point I would personally bury the dead, however also want to be a breeder someday as well. I suppose you could find some way to cremate them ... but I would be very curious as to what some of the bigger breeders say!

One word... Kingsnake!

I've also got a king snake (though I don't know if he'd actually EAT any snakes I offered him) ... but I can't help but wonder how easy it would be to try my hand at tanning the skins so that I could KEEP part of the snake that'd died.

Ha thats true, I didn't even consider that... Home grown garbage disposal for dead snakes!

I put mine into plastic baggies and then freeze them until trash day. On trash day I just put the frozen critter in with the rest of the garbage that goes out to the curb.

Well, a few years ago when my first snake died, I froze it. After a few days I decided it needed a proper burial. So I took it out of the bag and buried it in my back yard. I was 11 so I had to do that. Now I have 2 more in my freezer and may just bury those as well.
