I wouldn't use it on her any more, and I never would spray it on the snake, but instead spray it on a paper towel and then wipe the snake with it, to keep it out of the eyes, mouth, heat pits, etc.

The ardap should be used similar to PAM or NIX/RID solution used here in the US; it is never applied directly to the snake or its water dish, just the habitat and hides, and allowed to thoroughly dry before the snake comes into contact with it.

If your snake is ok and just lethargic because it's going into shed, I would just re-treat the enclosure and hides with ardap every two weeks for the next two months, and soak it every few days to drown the mites on it.
