    Also, what all should be sprayed with it? I know to do the paper towels but I'm not sure if I should do anything else?
    Should be fine to use and let dry outside. Make sure it's fully dry, let it sit for hours, make sure it doesn't smell (I let mine sit overnight, I pretreat for OT with PAM).
    I only spray the enclosure (usually a tub) and that's it. Then, once dry and ready, I put in papertowels, water bowl, and a simple hide (usually a cardboard food box that can be tossed when done).
    I believe you can spray the towels and hide if you want to but don't spray the water bowl. I don't bother with those, just the enclosure and I've (sadly) brought home a snake into QT that had mites, this killed them off just fine on it's own.

    I would also wait to feed another week.

    Hope that helps a little, good luck
