Hello folks!
I will *hopefully* be coming home with my first BP tomorrow. I will be buying at a show and want to pre-treat the quarantine tub with PAM (I also plan to treat the snake with reptile relief spray as well, just in case). This is all preventive, since I won't know if the snake has mites or not, I just don't want my other snakes to get them. I have never used a pesticide product like PAM around animals before, so I'm a little nervous about doing it the right way (so that I don't kill my new snake).

I will be housing the BP in a 25 quart tub for quarantine and have just sprayed it with PAM. I have three questions for you guys that have used PAM before.

1. Do I need to spray hides, etc? (I just sprayed the empty tub with paper towel substrate)

2. The bottle says to spray 12" - 15" away at the rate of 1 second per square foot of surface area. I did this, but sprayed an extra "second's" worth on the upper sides of the tub.. Is this an issue (i.e. too much spray)?

3. How long should I let the tub sit outside before it is "safe" to air out indoors?

Thank you for your time and help!
