One of my snakes just got mites, I have bought nixs headlice remover and mixed it in with 4l if water like I was told to do. I don't have Prevent a mite or I would use it. So what I was told to do is remove the water dish for 24 hrs after spraying it, my main question is can I spray it on the snake it self?

Please don't suggest buying prevent a mite cause then ill have to order it I want them gone ASAP. Thanks guys.
