So far I didn't see any mites in the water today after her soak and no mites on the paper towel before I changed it but I did use the mite spray on the enclosure let it soak for 5 minutes then wiped it down and soaked her for about 45 minutes to rehydrate her since I read alot of the mite products dehydrate them she is acting much more like she use to and no mites so far. I know that I don't wanna count this as a WIN yet but what else would you all recommend for me at this point? Or should I just keep up with the daily cleaning?

    thanks kindly,

    P.S. My ball python female yellow belly says thanks too
    When you get the PAM, put fresh substrate (enough to perform a cage cleaning with) in a container and lightly spray it down with PAM. Do this outside of your herp room. Let it sit overnight.

    The next day remove all of the old substrate, hides, water bowls, etc. and give the cage a thorough cleaning. Place her back in the enclosure with the substrate you treated the night before. Wash the water bowl in the dishwasher, and spray her hide with PAM and let it sit out for a couple of hours.

    While PAM claims to give 30 days of protection, I would treat another batch of substrate in two weeks and repeat the above process a second time.
