    Some Soaking Pics. (DUW.. semi big time)

    I got my PAM in today and I'm soaking Vincent at the moment. The past couple of times I've soaked him, he's struggled.. This time he just plopped right in, must be because he's in shed mode now. Found out today.









    I think he has to poop.

    Good luck with the PAM. I used it 1 time. 1 time!!! And no more mites. The stuff is top notch.

    do you soak them in PAM directly or how do yoy do it?
    Cause i thought pam isn't for direct animal use.

    No you should NEVER soak an animal in PAM.

    He is soaking the ball python in water, to drown off some/most of the mites, it'll also help with the shed. Some people also add a drop of gentle dish soap in the water, I never do though.

    Spray substrate and hides. Let dry for 45 minutes. Place back into enclosure.

    There's a lot more to it. Its real potent so you have to be careful with it. But that's the jist of it. And no its not for direct animal use.

    I have heard that soaking right before a shed can actually make it worse. But killing the mites off is more important

    Yeah, not soaking him in PAM, just water while I'm treating his tank.

    Also, I didn't notice he was in shed until he opened his tank and saw his pretty blue eyes. I asked on the 8ballchat, even though I wasn't supposed to, they were kinda enough to assist me, and they said to just soak him in water with a drop of hand soap.

    Since I got to put substrate back in his tank instead of paper towls he's a happy camper! I can't wait to have my snake back.

    I like to fill the water up just a little over half (not so much that he has to struggle to keep his head above or anything), I don't mind if my bp swims a bit and poops, less poop in his enclosure to clean
