No one should ever use any of these products directly on the snake, period! If you read the instructions on Provent-A-Mite, it specifically says to treat the enclosure. Permethrin can be obtained in many other brands/forms which are just as effective, but do not have the aerosol delivery method which means they need longer to dry. For treating a snake directly, there are several options. Reptile Relief and Olive Oil both do a good job of slipping the mites right off. Frontline spray is recommended by vets, but you must apply it by wiping them down with a sprayed paper towel to prevent overdose. Treating both the enclosure, the snake, and the surrounding area is the only sure fire way to treat the infestation.
