Thanks

I let it dry for about 45 minutes

Dont spray it heavy, just a thin coat like the can suggests, 1 second per ft2 I believe it is.

If your going to be treating one animal in the room, better treat them ALL, cause more than likely, mites will make it to your other snakes.

Also, dont do it in the same room as your animals.

If you have a rack...treat both bins. The mites will travel!!!

I have never had to use P.A.M. but I would think if you are going to treat the bins you would probably want to spray the rack also. Maybe someone with more experience will chime in.

I would do all the tubs AND the rack. You just need a thin coat but I do not think it will be dry in 20 mins. Wait until it is completely dry before putting your snakes back in. Is this to prevent mites or because one of the snakes has mites?

One of my snakes has mites.I think ill treat the other tub 2 and the rack ...He should shed any day now ,should i wait till after he sheds?

Nope, do it now.

I dont know if I have been doing it right but when I have used p.a.m in the past I have taken the paper towels to another room and treat them let them dry and then put them in the bins.
