Christmas traveling and my BP

Hey guys,
This is my first Christmas with my ball. My Christmas traveling is always hectic, and I was looking for some advice. I have no one to come check on my girl while I'm gone, or this wouldn't be such an issue. I have to go to my in-laws over Christmas, then I get 1 day home before going to my parents to do Christmas with them for almost a week. How should I do this with my BP girl, with feeding and keeping her clean? Should I feed her on the day I'm home between trips, or should I fast her till I'm back?
Just trying to figure out the best course of action, since I can't really take her with me.

Thanks,
Amanda Ellen

I would just wait til you're back for good to feed. It's one of the perks of owning a snake compared to a dog or cat...feeding is much less of a concern over a period of a week or two.

I agree, I would clean her out and feed her before your first trip, when you come home for the day I would do a spot clean and water change and then feed her when you come back :) Just make sure everything is spot on enclosure wise before you go away and all should be just fine :)

If you can trust the enclosure setup with temps and humidity there shouldn't be any problem. Mine is left alone for days. OK, I have a eye of GOD setup for monitoring him but again it's from remote. Usually I go MIA on him after cleaning, feeding, fresh water and never had a problem being absent even for 3-7 days ;)

The only problem I might see is water evaporating in mean time, so maybe provide two if possible and or necessary?
