    Get a family mmber to take over for you, a friend or someone, surely you must have someone to do it for you.

    Where do you live, maybe a member who lives close can help out?

    Well, the snake will be fine, but I am really not sure what to tell you to do with the cresties cause they do need to be fed and stuff regularly.

    What do you need to do at minimum for the cresties?..... find someone to care for them just as you do.

    I think it depends on what you are feeding the cresties, crested gecko diet or crix. Ideally once a day to check water and feed, but if you're feeding CGD then you could go every other day. It usually takes mine two days to eat it all or it's dried up and needs to be replaced.
