Apparently your stuff isn't working if you have needed more.
10% of how many? I don't even know of 10 stores that sell PAM. You must live at a pet store only mall.
If they mix it for you do you actually know what your talking about?
How often have you needed to treat for mites? This is rediculous to say the least.

The original permethrin was 10%, they diluted it down with just a capful in the entire spray bottle. I also go to one single reptile shop, which does happen to have reptile relief and pam but I did not buy pam.. I had permethrin diluted for me. I've only had the mites once and that's the only time I'll ever need to have it as I now treat anything I get with permethrin.

That's way too strong. Nix is only .3-.5 % permethrin and it is diluted into a whole gallon of water. You are talking about diluting 10% into a 24 oz bottle. Do the math and you will find you have great potential to damage your snake.

I think nix and pam are .5% but the guy who diluted it for me uses it all the time without any problems.

Re: Mites
After reading this entire thread, I feel stoopider for having done so.
