    about to commit genocide on these pesky parasites.

    i will use the spray down a paper towel, let it dry, and put it in the tub method (suggested by i believe ricky's reptiles)

    Don't forget to spray the outside of the cage area too. The table and the floor around the cage. Make a barrier sort of.

    You will like how the PAM works. I use it once a month as a preventive. With my collection.

    Honestly the best method I've found. Take the water dish and snake out of the cage, spray a light coating on everything, wait about 30 seconds, replace the water and the snake. Do it again in 1 week, then again in 2 weeks. And like others said, spray everything around the cage as well.

    the instructions say to let it dry. i'm taking no chances with this stuff.

    Re: just got my provent a mite in the mail

    I know what the directions say. I've also used it personally both ways and I won't mess around with letting it dry if I'm treating mites. Prevention, sure, the name kind of implies that. Watch snakebytes video on it, that's what Brian does. Just my 2 cents on it, but maybe that's what people with huge collections need to do. Following the directions only decreased the problem for me, it didn't cure it.
