Quick PAM Question
So I finally got some new hides for my baby bp and I washed them off really good last night (they're from petsmart). My cypress mulch thawed out and I sprayed the PAM on his substrate as instructed on the can. I now have the fan going at the strongest wind with my door shut so it can help get rid of the fumes. I'll probably give it about an hour to blow down everything. Is that okay? Cypress mulch is already wet, and I'm worried I'm doing something wrong. So please tell me if I did everything correctly.
Thanks

Quick PAM Question
If mites are present best no to use substrate like aspen, mulch, etc. Use paper towel or unprinted newspaper. Remove water bowl, spray enclosure, decor, hides lightly and wait a hour before adding animal and water. I like to wait 2 hours personally. When you spray you don’t want things to be saturated. I’ve found Pam usually clears things in a week at most. Hope this helps

The only reason why I sprayed the substrate was to prevent future infestations- he recently got out of his mite problem. I just checked the substrate and it's almost completely dry. But it wouldn't be safe to use?

Make sure Pam is completely dry. There was been negative reactions in reptiles when wet.

So it'll be good to go once the substrate is completely dry?

Yeah I didn't spray a ton. Just did like 2-3 quick mists that lasted a second long. I've been waiting for over an hour. Think it's good?
