I would recommend against it. There are many reasons, but PM me to discuss these at length. -In it illegal to release captive wildlife in many states. Especially non-native species (such as rough greensnake in CT). -Risk of spread pathogens to wild populations is real. -Many animals kept in captivit...

If you're worried about CO2 causing pain/panic, switch to another gas, specifically nitrogen (or Argon, Helium, but nitrogen is cheaper).

As I understand it, problems occur with using carbon dioxide for euthanasia only if it's used without oxygen present, as then the animals actually suffocate while in an alert state and experience some discomfort associated with that. When carbon dioxide is used with oxygen present, the animals quic...
