It is a pesticide, it is a poison - I give the enclosure 10 minutes or so to air out after a treatment before I put the animal back.
It was used incorrectly then. PAM and NIX solution is pretty much identical. Just look at the ingredients. And the only one that matters is Permethrin. Its just a different base, from Water to Aresol.


With NIX if you can get it make sure your substrate is always treated. Always Use paper and treat a few extra sheets for when you change, it All instructions are the same, Liberally put on snake. Better part of nix is it can go on there head/vents, Aswell keep water bowl out for 24hours to let it dry so snake doesn't drink any. If you notice snake soaking leave water dish out till mites are gone.
