Yes many use it and say it works wonders. Read the instructions carefully!!! Some have claimed that mis using it has killed their snakes I don't know if that is true or not just rumors.
The other thing is use it in a well ventilated area the studies are not yet complete but weight of evidence suggests that it is a human carcenogen over long term exposure as well as a suspected endocrine disruptor.
I am not saying do not use it but use it exactly to the instructions and try not to breath it or get it on your skin.
I wouldn't consider anything else for my collection. And a can will last you for a long time! I consider it a vital part of any keeper's husbandry supplies. I consider it a small investment for my collection.
Why would people would recommend it if it didn't work
I does work just plain simple and does on all stages (And no I do no work for the manufacturer )
Anyone that has snakes and or plan to acquire more in the future should always have a can handy to pre-treat new incoming animals upon arrival as part of their quarantine procedures.
Here is my little PAM tutorial. It should help clear up any confusion. Enjoy...
A Tale of Two PAMs... by Vypyrz
One of the most common misunderstandings that I see is the confusion caused when PAM is recommended in regards to Mite treatment. Most people are familiar with PAM, the cooking spray. However, in the reptile world PAM is the abbreviation for the mite treatment product Provent-A-Mite.
The two PAM's...
This is the PAM that you use for reptiles...
Provent-A-Mite is a Permethrin based spray made by Pro-Products. It is used to eradicate and prevent mite and tick infestations on reptiles.
Not this...
PAM is a Canola oil based spray made by Con-Agra Foods. It is used to allow that fried egg to slide all around the pan while you chase it with a spatula, only to have it end up on the floor
