    Thank you so much! I'll try this also! You're so nice!

    Do your friends know you keep snakes? The reactions of mine vary, but the last time I travelled I asked my friends who thought snakes were interesting if they'd be willing to check on the house and the snakes for a bit of cash. One said yes, so I taught her how to change water, use the temp gun to check temperatures and other things to look out for. Had her handle them too, just so she could if someone made a break for the doors. She came over three or four times a week.

    Not a good idea if you keep giants though, or something very nippy. In that case I'd look on Rover or other bonded/insured pet sitting services for someone experienced with snakes.

    Where in Fairfax are you at?

    If in the Centreville area Try here https://deepwoodveterinaryclinic.com/ That's the vet I use, they do boarding and have told me last year they will board snakes.


    If in the Fair Oaks area try https://pendervet.com/exotics/boarding/ No personal experience with them, but they do snake boarding. Maybe someone can comment on them.

    Good news guys! A nice person I met long ago in a reptile expo is willing to take care of them! My small boa is sometimes cage aggressive...I kind of worried if it bites her...she owes big boas though...
