I usually go out of town about 4-5 times a year. It’s usually for only a weekend or so, but about once to twice a year it could be up to 5-7 days. This is obviously too long to leave a snake alone for. I have a friend who. Could come in and change the water, but that’s it. I could get them to change the water half way through (3-4 days in) and make sure all the heating is still working. Something that worries me is if my snake poops early on from me leaving, there will be poop in the enclosure for a whole week, and this could lead to scale rot and other bad things because I do live in a more humid area. Plus, it’s gross. Something else that worries me is if my heat bulb or heat pad goes out while I’m away. There would be no one who could change it for me because I use a big heavy tank and not a simple tub. I do have a breeder in the area, I wouldn’t trust him to go in my house alone, but I would trust him to keep my snake a week. Is this a good idea? Would it be very stressful for my snake going from an enclosure to a rack system and being transported in the car? One other thing that worries me is one time when I went to see him, some of his collection had mites. What are your thoughts?
