It says "non-toxic", which usually means it is safe even if ingested. I think the directions say to apply every three days, so you probably dont want to let it sit heavy in the cage for lengthy periods of time. Anyone else have an answer?

Even if the label says "non-toxic" it is not a good idea for you to spray chemicals into or around a water bowl. As for keeping your burm in the cage, they have a slow respiration rate and it should be fine so long as you don't completely saturate the environment. I am not familiar with the product you mentioned so I am just going off of my gut.
Hope this helps.

I used it for my snakes when I had a mite scare... I sprayed them down, and swabbed their heads with a q-tip to keep from getting it in the eyes and such... I also sprayed the perimeter of the cage with it to kill mites... Theres been no problem so far... And there arent many chems in it either...
