    Mite / sickness questions.

    Hello everyone! So I have been closely monitoring the enchi clown I recently purchased I noticed that sometimes when I check on him is head is kind of tilted...like he is sick? Then plenty of other times he appears just fine. I can't find anything specific on this behavoir. I haven't been able to snap a pic yet. But imagine him resting his head on his body but slightly tilted. I haven't noticed my other snakes doing this. Am I paranoid?

    Question #2. Maybe his issue is directly related to the mites I found on him. I hate receiving a snake with mites I start wondering about the collections I get these snake from smh. Anyway I sprayed PAM with one fast pass over paper towel then let it sit 24 hours and put him on that. I have read plenty of info about it but I guess I need my questions answered directly.

    Is one quick pass good enough?

    How long before I switch back to regular substrate and should I treat that too?

    What minimum recommended drying time?

    When your snake is housed on the dry paper towels and he urates how does that not activate the PAM and hurt him?

    When receiving new additions can I give a pass over the substrate (reptibark/cocoa fiber mix) let it dry and feel save from infestations?

    The snake was in a full rack. If I want to treat my whole collection for piece of mind what is the best way to accomplish the task?

    Sorry if my questions seem ignorant.
