If you are treating the enclosure, hides, and paper substrate with PAM or another permethrin-based insecticide, then you could forego the Reptile Relief for a few days until he's done shedding.
The directions said do not treat snakes for at least 6 hours after shedding their skin so I wasn't sure if I was allowed to use before the skin has been shed. I figured it wasn't a good idea but I thought I would ask to make sure. I just used PAM in Persephone's enclosure when I discovered Kratos had mites a week ago but I didn't use reptile spray bc she was in shed but since I know Kratos has them I want to do a second treatment of both but I'll do the reptile spray the day after he sheds.
