Yes you can use ToD to treat cages and animals. Just spray it lightly in to the cage. Before you do that, I personally use the following method if they ever get mites.

1. Remove python from cage
2. Place python in warm water for a few minutes (until you notice mites on surface)
3. Clean and dry snake
4. Place into click-clack treated with ToD (I place a tea-towel lightly sprayed with ToD into the click-clack as a temporary hide.
5. Now clean your enclosure thouroughly with warm water and soap.
6. Dry cage completely. (I use a hair dryer - whilst the wife is at work - lol).
7. Leave for a day.
8. Treat with ToD thouroughy making sure to pay attention to cracks and holes in rocks and branches.
9. Wait 2 days and check for mites in wood by tapping onto a piece of white paper and use a magnifying glass. (I know this makes it time consuming but I would rather have no mite re-infestation than have a re-infestation).
10. Upon a clear examination, put python back in.

Best of luck to you mate, hope it helps.

This by no means is the 101 solution, by it is a tried and proven method used by me on my previously owned reptiles.

Cheers
