The spray is effective for 2 weeks so no need to treat any sooner.
I see where you got the idea to put it on the snake. I just wanted to stress how serious it is that you not get it on the snake because bad things have happened to reptiles that were sprayed directly with the stuff. In the cage and aired out it is harmless though. I also have used a product called Reptile Relief by that same company mentioned above, Natural Chemistry and it can be applied directly to the animal, but I don't find it quite as good for treating the enclosure because it must come in direct contact with the mites. Permethrin need only be in the air to kill bugs. Oh, and if you keep any insectavores, like myself, you'd best get the crickets out of the house for a day. I killed all the feeders in the other room treating for mites.
I live in Orlando. Good luck to you. With the right stuff the mites will never be a problem.
