Where can I buy PaM?

    Where can I buy PaM?
    Provent-a-Mite, that is.

    I hope I posted this in the right section...this IS related to the care/health of my current ball pythons.

    I'm trying to find a good place to purchase PaM. A place that has a good shipping time. Someone (not on these forums) directed me to a website (which i don't remember the name of) that says shipping takes 2-3 weeks. That wouldn't be a problem, but I was hoping to maybe get it sooner.

    I am planning on acquiring another ball python. One thing I have never done is used PaM to provent a mite infestation. I have been lucky not to have one. I have done proper quarantine procedures, the whole vet visit-thing, but have never been concerned about a mite infestation. That is completely stupid of me, and I would rather not acquire any more snakes without the PaM. I feel guilty, but from now on, I'm taking every precaution necessary to keep my established snakes healthy, and ensure any future snakes are healthy and parasite-free.

    I am sorry if websites have already been posted in other mite threads, but the ones that I read through only explained how to use it, what it does, how often to use it, etc. Where might I find it, online? I thought the maker(s) had their own website, but I can't find that, either!! Any site suggestions you make, have you ordered from them? And how long did it take to get to you? Price is not much of a concern, so don't worry about finding the better deals.

    Thanks so much, in advance! :sunny:

    Thank you!

    That's all I needed. :)

    I feel like such a terrible snake mom for not pre-treating for mites. :( I realize that they're fairly easy to spot (especially since all newbies are taken to the vet not long after they arrive here), but I just don't know what I'd do if I introduced them into my established collection.

    Again, thanks a bunch!

    Keep in mind that while PAM is a great mite treatment (and pre-treatment) new snakes can carry other nasties too so proper quarantine practices are a MUST and will go even further in keeping mites (and anything else) out of your established colony. :D

    Go to WAL MART and get some EQUATE BEDDING SPRAY for head lice. It has the same stuff that provent a mite does and works great. Plus it will save you 10-15 bucks a can.
