Feeding every 2 weeks?

So I may be getting a new job soon that might require me to travel a bit. It brings up the possibility of me having to be away for up to two weeks at a time.

The main thing I'm having trouble finding is someone to feed my snake during that time. Is it possible to get them on a bigger meal every two week feeding schedule? Or is that really unhealthy?

How big are they? What are you feeding them now? How often do you feed them?

It's just one snake, about 350g. Currently she eats 2 18g mice every 5 days. Still finishing up the last of those before moving to bigger.

If it were me I would be offering an appropriate sized rat, if you have to go to 2 weeks offer a rat a little larger. I would worry more about having fresh water than food.

Yeah 2 weeks is no big deal to these guys, but yes the water staying stagnant for 2 weeks would worry me. At least see if someone can come in the middle of the week to check everything and change water at least once.

yeah, changing water is no big deal. My girlfriend refuses to be involved in the feeding though.
