Once done spraying. Place water bowl into enclosure. Fin.

I'm talking specifically about the bedding spray in aerosol form. That can be toxic in liquid form, and needs to dry completely before adding bedding, hides, water, etc. The dried spray will leave a thin film in the enclosure which will continue to kill any hiding mites or unhatched eggs for a period of time after initial treatment. Read the instructions for using Provent-A-Mite (again, same 0.5% permethrin as lice bedding sprays), and as stated, DO NOT treat the snake directly. Makes perfect sense to me.
