So about 6 months back a friend brought over their newly obtained Burm over for me to sex...and with it came MITES.
So I bought Provent-a-mite and treated all my tubs. Since then I have treated my tubs every 3 months as prevention.

My question is, as I start hatching and selling babies, I want to make absolutely sure I do not send mites to customers. I haven't seen any at all lately, and have been treating like I said, but I was wondering...can you use PAM to treat the inside of shipping bags?
Like...turn it inside out, spray it, let it dry for a couple hours, and then ship the snake in it?

I do believe there is a disclaimer not to use PAM on babies.

I do rescue, so I see mites come thru fairly regularly. I treat all my cages on a monthly basis. First of the month, full clean, bleach and PAM each rack and cage. I also treat the carpet, the blinds, exteriors of the cages. Basically everything. While I am treating each animals cage, they get tub time. This is a great way to catch the floaters. I have managed to prevent any outbreaks since establishing this protocol.
