After treating with PAM

[Skiploder]

I ve seen that some people after they are finished with the treatment of their enclosure, they throw out the substrate(we are talking about loose sustrate like aspen), and replace it with new one so the snake doesnt ingest treated substrate.

Also, I ve seen people treating the substrate and not changing it, as people say, once PAM is dry, it is safe for the snake.
This would, offcourse be easier and faster to do, if it isnt dangerous to the snake that is.

I am interested what you do when there is mite problem already going on, and what you do with PAM just to prevent it.

As I am getting 4 new enclosures, I was thinking about lightly spraying the substrate and whiping the vents and leaving it to dry for 3-4 weeks before putting any animals in there. But I would like to do the simmilar thing with my old ones also.

So what would your advice be?

Mix the substrate in a large container.

Spray it down.

Cover it for an hour.

Let it air for an hour or so.

Place in cage.

Don't spend another minute worrying about silly things like having your snake eat a piece of substrate with dried PAM on it.
