what do you tell people who will be taking care of ur snakes??

Hi guys,

I'm getting of to the university now, so i will be away from home in the weekday's. I will be at home from friday-sunday. To bad we can not have animals in our student rooms, so my BP's will stay home without me . Now I'm pretty lucky and my mother is a biologist so she will take care of my little treasures.
She doesn't know the BP in particular so i explained her all about the temps/ humidty level/ shed cycle . As I will be at home at the weekends i will do all the big cleaning parts and the feeding myself. But is there anything I'm not thinking of right now i really should tell her to keep an eye out for? Cause i really don't want to get home one friday and see somethings wrong (i trust her 100% but you never know right, they still are my baby's )

Thnx

I'd give her a print out of the care sheet!!

Thnx for the tips, I just gave her a briefing about possible illnesses. But as she told herself she knows there normal behaviour and she will call me asap when something is out of the odds. I'm only about an hour away from home so I can always head back when i think it's something strange.
I think it will suffy?

The only thing I would think to check is temp and water bowl. I know people that go away for two weeks and don't have anyone check on their snakes. But they do have someone take in the mail.
