I got Albion about a week and a half ago and he has been lying in his water dish the last couple days, so I checked for mites and didn't see any. So I fed him last night as usual and while feeding I saw them: the little black dots of terror. I only ever see one at a time on him but I have noticed it twice and am fairly certain it's mites (I saw one on his eyeball this morning ). However, I don't see anything in his water dish after he's been soaking so maybe I caught it early?

My question is: if I fed him last night, I'm not supposed to handle him for 48 hours, yes? Then should I wait to treat him? Also, I have read many different treatment options; any suggestions on what works best? The infestation looks minor at this point.
