    BP's ok while I'm gone?
    Hello everyone! Do any of you go on vacation and leave your BP's home? I'm taking a week vacation and going out of town. Unfortunately all of my friends are not too fond of snakes, so I was debating on boarding them somewhere. Do you think boarding is necessary? I was planning on feeding a week before I leave, just so there are no regurges while I'm gone. They are also in a tub set up, so the water bowls will be fine. Worst case, they could make a mess and have to sit in it for a week or less. What do you think?

    They should be fine. Just make sure they have clean water before you leave and you probably could feed them they shouldn't regurge unless that is something happens frequently for you in which case something is probably wrong anyway.

    They should be fine. I would recommend having a thermostat controlling their heat source if you don't. As long as they have water and something controlling their heat they will be fine.

    Also I would recommend using Aspen or a similar wood bedding instead of paper towels or something while you are gone as it is more absorbent in case they do make a mess while you are gone.

    Thanks. I've never had any regurges before, but would hate if it happened and i wasn't here.
