Huh, okay, I believe it but that seems odd. I'll have to go re-read the one I have at home (dealing with a boa having off-and-on issues). When I put it on the feeder, if the feeder is wet, it turns into a sticky mess of a paste, I could only imagine how yucky this would make the water. I've been wrong plenty of times though lol
I put it on a dry feeder and just rub it under the fur, usually I concentrate mostly on the head since that goes in first.
