I have used this product, very happy with its residual effect within an enclosure. But I do use diluted(1:1000) ivermec spray for a topical. Even a short soak and paper towel can get several mites off the body. It does say you can spray it on tortoises, however, the product contains pyrithins.. so reptiles with thinner skin membranes are probably not the best candidates for direct contact. Watch the vent and the eye sockets carefully.. mites can bury themselves deeply and these areas are hard to treat.
Good Luck-
