in case you were "on the fence" about why iguanas and curly tails must die?

I don't like the idea of them drowning - takes 20 minutes for them to die but on the grand scheme of things I don't think you should feel guilty at all.

If I was in your situation I would still use the bucket but don't let them drown. Then either place them in a box with a snap trap or practice your baseball skills with rats as a ball.

It might catch on and they could have ratball olympics although that might be going a bit too far when it comes to doing it the most humane way.

This year I had to put down 4 unwanted cockerels. Having raised them from little chicks that is harder than dispatching an unwanted pest.

As a sidenote, I have more than 1 mouse. Still to be determined how much of a problem but my plan of relocating might be off the table if this turns into a mouse plague problem.
