Betadine soak?

    I've used PAM with great success.

    The directions say spray on substrate. But as I use paper substrate, I just spray the tubs directly. The directions also say to wait 15 (give or take) minutes for the PAM to dry. I leave the tubs outside for an hour minimum. Maybe I'm being over cautious, but better safe than sorry.
    Then once everything is dry, I put the snake and everything else back into the tub. Tada!

    If you're really worried about PAM, I've heard of keepers using human lice products to kill mites.

    In my opinion any chemical can harm people. Sure, you shouldn't drink weed killer or spray it in your face, but does that stop most of you from having a bottle in the shed? The same is true with PAM. Use common sense and don't discharge the entire can in your locked bathroom and you'll be fine. If you have other snakes, be sure to move Thor into another room. The last thing you need is for this to spread to any other pets you have.

    Thank you very much! I shall most likely use this method :)
