Go to walmart and get the Equate lice spray, its almost the same thing. The price is way better also.

Just trying to be helpful her. I use Equate Bedding Spray all the time. Never spray the snake directly. Remove snake and water bowl. Spray substrate lightly and let dry for 30 minutes. You can treat your other cages. Repeat in two weeks. You boa should recover nicely but give the spray time to work. Bill

Sarge is absolutely correct, and that also goes for provent a mite, as it should never be sprayed directly on any reptile either. Some smaller reptiles have been killed by direct spraying of provent a mite on the body.
