A week will be fine make sure you clean the water dish before you leave and fill it up completely right before you go, also make sure to stop all feeding 5 to 7 days prior to your trip.

In that case, there's probably nothing you can do about it then since you won't be around to clean it.

He could get I'll from drinking the water tho?

No not likely. If they go in it, the usually won't drink it. It's not that big of a deal for these snakes to not drink for a week.

Why stop feeding 5-7 days before? To make sure it has fully digested its previous meal and isn't going to regurg?

Also, in mother Africa you don't drink water... water drink you:




It'll be fine for a week.

Do not leave newspaper in there if you go on vacation. They can spill the water and it can get really moldy. Put another substrate and you can put the newspaper back when you come back.

I'd like to know why you should stop feeding as well. I assume so that the snakes won't have to live with poo in there tub for a week?
