It is a terrible idea to gamble with pesticides when treating your snake, that stuff is poison literally, the PAM has been specifically designed for use with reptiles and you can even call the inventor of the product and he can explain exactly why it is safer than the copycat products. Please do not mess around with the other junk! I say this to protect your pet, and for no other reason.
Just a question, if the stuff from Walmart has the same ingredients at the same % and nothing else added why is it poison and PAM is not? Sure the guy that developed PAM is gonna tell you it's the only thing you can use. Having a pesticide background it's time for a little research before jumping the gun.
