Gatorage is basically just flavored Pedialyte.

When you use either for soaking the snakes, do you use it full strength? Or diluted?

I know when I go for a bike ride, full strength just feels too sticky, and I can imagine that it would make the snake pretty sticky, too. I usually mix it to about 50% strength using plain water (thanks to a suggestion from Greg LeMond's book!) and that feels just about right on a ride. I'm wondering if the half strength would be as good or maybe better for the snakes as well, not to mention helping cut the cost of the "treatment".
