    As for PAM, i personally dont like to use chemicals on my snakes so my advice would be to just spray PAM on a rag outside and then just wipe down the outside of the cages and any cords and table legs/table tops that the cages sit on or anywhere that mites could get into the cage, especially around the vent holes and door openings.

    And for the QT cage, i would spray the PAM now. That will give it plenty of time to dry before the snake arrives. Although honestly, i kind of broke the rule and didnt QT Gina when i got her lol. I know you should but i have been rather sloppy about QTing my snakes recently. I just had faith in the breeders i got from as they were big players in the game who have a big reputation to hold up so i couldnt imagine them taking chances with tarnishing it. And yes, i know that is still no excuse lol.
    Sauzo, you know better... especially with as large as your gang of critters has gotten.
    Got the quarantine tub PAMed and just prepped a few sheets of white craft paper as bedding so I can change em out quickly and then have backups already treated. As for the established critters, I’ll probably do a deep clean and wipe everything with a PAMed rag before putting substrate back in and such.
    Really glad my MacGuyver QT set up is working so nicely. Temps are perfect 78-79* cool side, 80-81* mid zone, and UTH hotspot of 89-90*. I almost got rid of that lamp and CHE when I moved a couple weeks ago and really glad now that I didn’t. Setting that on the top shelf of my wire rack gives a perfect ~4* ambient temp boost from 12” or so above the tub
