    Re: Quarantine Process - What's Overkill and What's Standard

    I'd actually remove the water bowl. With PAM you really don't want it near anything your snake can ingest unless it's completely 110% dry, so if the bowl was filled with water and/or sprayed with PAM, give it a thorough wash and don't put it back in the tub until it's been 48 hours since you've used PAM.

    I could have the more paranoid opinion here, but it doesnt hurt to be extra careful just in case ^^

    I have the quarantine tub setup w/ two hides and a water dish. It's been sprayed w/ PAM over 24 hours ago.

    Humidity is around 65-70%. I had my hot side floor temp set to 88 degrees but I ended up bumping it to 91 because the paper towel substrates were only reading in the low - mid 80s. I know with other substrates, a snake can burrow and reach the floor but w. paper towels is there a different protocol here? Are those temps good?

    Also, I put about 4 holes on all 4 sides. I would assume this is enough ventilation for him?

    Any other suggestions are appreciated.
