    PAM question

    So I used PAM on my enclosure today about 2 1/2 hours ago... it feels dry, but I can still smell the stuff a little bit... is it safe to put my snake back in or should I wait a little while longer?

    Re: PAM question

    How much of the PAM did you spray in the enclosure?

    It will leave behind a little film but that is fine. I let mine stand for 2-3 hours as well. That is plenty of time!!

    Re: PAM question

    When I treat with PAM, I set up a fan to blow in the enclosures. It cuts the drying time down to an hour or less...

    PAM is also an acronym for Provent-A-Mite... don't go spraying your cage with the cooking spray PAM please!!
