    Re: PAM ripped me off?

    go with reptile relief, petco sells it. Take out all the substrate and just put white paper towels(easy to see them) and a water bowl and easily washable hide. change papertowels daily, clean water bowl and hide and clean tank daily

    i got your problem fix right here
    go to a store like walmart or a pet store

    get HARTZ FLEA & TICK POWDER for CATS

    put the snakes infected in their own bag and dump a good coating onto the snake , tie off the bag leave in over night .
    then clean your cages /tubs whatever you use . and sprinkle some in with your substrate . the next day look over the snake to make sure all are dead and place snake back in its cage .

    this way even works on eliminating eggs from producing cause it gets under the scales .

    1 night in a bag an all mites on snake are dead ..

    i use it religously and i dont use anything else and i dont have out breaks .
    and its perfectly harmless to the snakes ..

    I'm sure he meant a snake bag, which is made out of cloth.

    Re: PAM ripped me off?

    Equate Bedding Spray, Walmart.


    Ok once again here we go.

    Go to Walmart and buy Equate Bedding Spray

    Provent a mite ingredients are 99.5% and .5% Permethrin

    Equate Bedding spray has the exact same amount of permethrin and Inert ingredients. The can is 4$

    I have used it for many years. It works, and there isnt anything better IMO.

    PLEEEEEASE follow these instructions

    Remove snake from cage
    Remove water from cage
    Spray the spray all around the cage(not the snake or water), do not try to soak the cage, not necessary.
    Leave the snake and water out for an Hour(actually a lot less but I am extra cautious)
    Put snake and water back in and repeat in 30 days.....odds are the second treatment wont be needed. You will not see mites again.

    Permethrin will kill snakes when airborn......so use caution.

    Good Luck

    which is why i said to use my method .because my method wont kill snakes in anyway and you dont have to be worried about using it in your reptile room cause its completely safe for snakes and is overwhelmingly effective ..

    and you dont have the hassle of so many pain in the ass steps as you would if using the other stuff

    You clearly have learned nothing from the multiple threads about this topic. Equate is not and never will be the same as PAM. It's irresponsible to keep insisting that it is.

    This is a terrible idea and potentially harmful. Just because YOU have done it and not killed any snakes yet doesn't make it safe. This also won't eliminate eggs from producing because it gets under the scales. That makes NO sense whatsoever. As far as I am aware, no product on the market kills mite eggs. Not even PAM. The benefit of PAM is that it has over 30 days of residual action which will kill the new mites that hatch. This is nearly as ridiculous as your one in a million multiple sire comment. If someone tries this on your recommendation and kills their snake, what will your response be then?
