snake and water bowl, i took the hide out too but i don't think you have to, recently picked a new boa with mites, next day i got PAM and reptile spray and i haven't seen mites since, ill keep using the pam to kill the next gen mites,works . careful with the pam though follow directions . also I was reading around and i guess pam isn't a good idea to use on hognose snakes enclosures and i think it was treeboas i guess they die i dunno,its what i read in couple different forums. Good luck.
