Does petco carry pam ? on their website i only see zoo med mite off.Where can i order it online if i cant find it in the pet stores around here.

Petco does not carry it. Try www.bigappleherp.com or www.reptiledirect.com either of those should carry it. You may also be able to find it at a local reptile show as well.

I know most people dont like the pest strip method but that what I use. I cut little pieces and put them in little containers with holes in them. Place one in your totes and a bigger piece in the room. Leave in there for 36-48 hours....take it out and repeat in 8-10 days....Done

Has worked very well for me in the past. Disinfect everything in your cages and replace all bedding. I would suggest newspaper as the substrate. Less placese for the mites to hide and lay eggs. Reptile mites are very smart little critters. LOL Good luck

I got mites not to long after I got my baby. This is what I did while I waited for my PAM to come.
I took out all her substance, then vacuumed out her enclosure. I then rinsed it out with water, and let that soak for a bit. After the enclosure was completely dry I replaced it with newspaper just so I could see any more mites crawling around. When I had to throw away the soiled newspaper, I put it into a plastic bag, double tied it tight, and brought it directly outside. I would suggest doing a water/bleach solution to disinfect the inside of her enclosure. It was suggested to me, and even though I didn't do it (because I didn't have time), I will suggest it to others.
PAM works very well, and I love the stuff! I now spray all new things that go into her enclosure (expect water dishes). Hope this helped.
