    Agreed, there are far too many exposure horror stories of neurological damage to snakes to be worthwhile to use PAM for harmless things like these. I took OPs post to mean they had already used it, so didn't think to emphasize that part.

    Baking is far more effective without the risk of chemicals harming the snake.
