I would put some in every cage as the mites will not just be in the one cage.
I mix some peat and moss in boxes and put these in cages I've tried the defenders in. These boxes become places the defenders like and do well in and the snakes use the boxes as well.
If you just sprinkle the defenders in dry cages they don't last as long as when you give them a humid area like a moss box.

great idea snake breeder, my bci wont go near the moss box, and i was concerned about having to up humidity for her, but you have solved that problem

Now just worried that the lil s***s might start nibbeling on me lol.

Id only need to do my room upstairs, as the other reps are downstairs in the front room, so hopefully they wont have mites.
