Treating for mites and feeding

I posted last week w/? about food refusal; we fixed the tank up better, didn't handle, and were planning to feed today or tomorrow.

The snake now has mites; I ordered PAM and expect it tues/wed.

I think we should hold off the feed until we treat for mites; since we shouldn't handle it after feeding and will need to take the snake out/put it in tub/clean its cage.

Smart way to go?

If you feed him today or tomorrow then he will be fine to move on tuesday or wednesday.

I would offer him food. If he eats, great! If not, wait a week and try again.

would not eat; will try next week. thanks!
