This is also a good point. That's the other downside to wood housing when it's unsealed.

I assume by "apt" you mean "appointment" [with vet] & not "apartment"?
Is he seriously underweight? If not (& I'm assuming not), getting rid of mites & vet appointments take precedence. The more effective treatments cause some degree of stress to snakes which is not conducive to eating or digestion. No point feeding a snake, only to cause him to regurgitate his meal with needed treatments & handling. So it's best to wait, not feed.

For a minute there I thought he decided to move out.

Not sure who you're asking, but I'm not familiar with that product- it may be terrific, but still unsafe for sensitive animals like snakes? I really don't know.
You want something that dries fully- with no VOC (volatile organic compounds) that keep off-gassing, because they're toxic (deadly) to reptiles. Especially because our reptiles are enclosed & breathing anything that off-gases 24-7, & also touching it- they can absorb things thru their skin too.
I think most ppl use polyurethane? Look for "pet-safe" & usually water-based products- Oil based products tend to be toxic & off-gas for a long time. And make sure anything you use is fully dry & odor free for a while (!) before exposing a snake to it. Remember, our sense of smell isn't all that great. I can remember people proudly finishing wood terrariums & having their snake die after they moved in...so do real research, don't assume or take a "salesman's" word for it. I've used a safe waterproofing sealant for converting furniture to snake homes, but it was many years ago & right now, I don't recall specifically what I used.
You might also look into products for sealing fish ponds, because fish are very sensitive too.
