Yes it sounds like you are doing a good job. I know what its like to have an unexpected infestation. If you have more than one snake in the same rack or room then expect the others to have little devils incubating in the shadows. Treat every cage. Definately make sure to remove the animal before spraying the PreventOmite. I have had decent success with it.

A suggestion to save you money since PreventOmite is so expensive ($20 a can right?) Go to walmart or some store that carries camping supplies and buy a can of Misquito repellent by the brand REPEL. Not just any can. It must be the kind with PERMETHRIN as its active ingredient. The can will say PERMANONE in big letters on the front. This is the insect repellent used on your cloths and not your skin. PERMETHRIN is the same active ingredient as in PreventOmite. If money doesnt grow from your backyard tree either then $20 worth of Permanone will go a whole lot further for you because its the same stuff.

I cant take credit for this find but I see no reason to not pass it on. Good luck.
