    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I know PAM is suppose to be good for a few weeks. I change my cages every week (more often if they need it). There is always one cage that my dear snake has tipped over his/her water bowel. I take it I have to retreat the cage before I put my snake back in so the PAM is working right? The water will wash off the PAM right? I just wanted to make sure. I am rotating cages so I can just switch cages. Out of the dirty, into a clean one in just seconds. Man that makes life easier.

I got a few cans of it because I wanted to have something that really worked on mites. I have not seen mites on any of my girls, but one boy (in quarantine) had one on him last week. He is separated from the girls but I want to be safe. I change all cages the same. I take out the snake and put him/her in a clean cage that was treated with PAM a few days ago after I cleaned it. So the cages have been stored for a few days so the PAM is good and dry and no fumes remain. The boy in QT all his stuff is cleaned the same way but is stored and cleaned not only in a different location but on a different day. Is it ok to spray the PAM and wait a few days (up to a week) before I put the snake in the treated cage? I am making sure that all my snakes are in treated cages. Is that overkill and will it hurt my snakes? Thanks and sorry for the long post.
