Using PAM on snake

[the_Ryno]

Is it safe to use PAM directly on my snake? Or should I spray a rag and then wipe down my snake?

Soak the snake to physically remove as many mites as possible, then place it into the clean and treated enclosure per the directions.

Do Not use PAM on the snake. Read the instructions. Treat the enclosure only with PAM. Personally I use Reptile Relief on the snake. Spray it down and let it soak a few minutes, then soak the snake in warm clean water to rehydrate. By this time the enclosure is ready for the snake and water bowl.

You are talking prevent a mite correct? i first thought PAM was the cooking spray lol.

DONT spray on snakes, only the enclosure.

I use Rid-Bedding Spray, wont say who I learned it from, but lets just say they have A TON of snakes!!!!!


And you can spray that directly on the snake. Just dont go overboard

Use the directions on the can.

When I had mites I soaked my snakes while I cleaned out the cage and water bowl and then spray PAM in the cage. After the cage is aired out and the PAM is dried I take the snake out and wipe it down with reptile relief. After a few days no more mites. It might be over kill but my collection is still small and I can take the time. Triple threat!!!

Reptile Relief kills mites by dehydration. It can also slightly dehydrate your snakes. I suggest spraying with RR first, allowing to sit a while, then rinse and soak to help rehydrate. During this time the PAM is drying. Pretty much the same concept just don't like putting snakes back with the RR still on them.

I understand

What I did was Lightly spray the snake, avoiding the head, and massage in.

I then sprayed the enclosure and removed water bowls. I also let all the fumes from the spray dissolve
