ALL PREY WAS HUMANELY EUTHANIZED PRIOR TO RECORDING.
Pythons use constriction to quickly bring death to their prey. The constriction cuts off the blood flow to the heart and the animal passes out quickly. Slow motion allows us to get a better view of how these snakes bite and constrict in order to feed and survive. Death is a natural part of the cycle of life. In order for the snakes to live, the rodents must die.
Normally I would not cut and paste a wiki article, but I think the excerpt below does a better job of explaining the process than I could:
Constriction is a method used by several snake species to kill or subdue their prey. Although some species of venomous and mildly venomous snakes do use constriction to subdue their prey, most snakes which use constriction lack venom. The snake strikes at its prey and holds on, pulling the prey into its coils or, in the case of very large prey, pulling itself onto the prey. The snake then wraps one or two loops around the prey, forming a constriction coil. The snake monitors the prey's heartbeat to ascertain it is dead. This can be a physically demanding and potentially dangerous procedure for the snake, because its metabolism is accelerated up to sevenfold and it becomes vulnerable to attack by another predator.
