Going away for a week

[jblaze]

I am going to Austria for a week leaving Saturday. Today is normally my feeding day but I decided to hold off and feed on Friday. Is there anything else I should do before I go away?

Have someone you trust check on your snake every so often to replace water, spot clean, check temps/humidity. There isn't much that needs to be done as long as basic husbandry is kept in order.

I am currently away from my bp too, I'm having my mom do these things and give me updates if anything happens.

clean dirty cages, give clean water. If you can find someone to check on them that wouldnt be a bad idea

Make sure water is topped off when you leave and everything should be good 1 week is fine the water may dry out a little but they can go way longer then a week without anything...

Unless you have my geniuses. Theyll tip all the bowls and everyone will crap at the same time.

Mine just crapped a few nights ago, I doubt that he will do that again within the next week. My girl is going to be checking in on the Bearded Dragons so I will have her go in one day and check on the snake. Thanks everyone!

Don't feed before you leave. This will greatly lessen the chance that they will desecrate the enclosure before you return. Just top off the water and put them on an absorbent sub like aspen if you currently use newspaper or paper towels.

Okay, I will feed tomorrow then. Thanks for the input Dreese

Also, I use Aspen so I plan to clean the enclosure Friday before I go. The heatmat is on a thermostat so everything should be set in that aspect.
