PAM has never worked for us. Go to TSC and get permethrin 10 and mix 3/4 ounce to one gallon of water and you can spray it all over the snake avoiding the face and all over the tub. Dont have to remove the snake and let it dry blah blah blah. Remove his water bowl for 24 hours because if he soaks in it and drinks it then it could harm him. Also remember to get rid of the bedding and put him on paper towels. Also spray the wood on the rack system if your using a rack and spray the floors around the baseboards.
