sigh, while I'm waiting on PAM

[grammie]

should I do anything? Shipping is supposed to take 5-8 days and as I've only seen one, should I wait or do something now? (yes, I know there is more than one, but they aren't crawling the floor yet

How long do they have to stay out of enclousure while you treat? I have 8 and since I'm going to treat them all, I need to know if I need 8 tubs ready or what?

thanks

If you need, just lay out all your substrate and spray it down with the PAM, mind you do this in another room than the snakes. Let dry completely and replace they're current bedding with that. Its easy when it's like newspaper or aspen etc...

Otherwise just remove the water bowls, and place all the animals in tubs and move them into another room. Spray the cages down per the instructions and return the animals and water.

I believe you just need to wait an hour or so until it all dries, so if you want to do it all at once you'll need some enclosures or at least some snake bags (or pillowcases) to hold them. I'd spray the enclosures outside (that way you don't inhale the fumes either), and be sure the snakes do not inhale any of the fumes.

I have logs, plants, hides, etc. I just spray them and they are good to go back in? I'm going to put them all on paper for a while but I like to fill their spaces up.

Someone mentioned keeping pam away from feeder insects, I raise mealworms for the geckos. How far away is far?

And I'm thinking because no one has said different, that I just leave them alone until the PAM gets here? Yes, they all have bowls they can soak in, the one I found them on is soaking, but she's also in shed.

I'd remove everything but the waterbowl. Put the snakes on papertowels or newpaper. Soak all non essential items in bleach/water. You may even want to soak your snake in some water with a drop of dish soap in it. That should kill off any adult mites.
