What is the longest amount of time you have left your BP and enclosure unattended?

Im going to France for a month, and I'm worried...the only person who would know how to take care of my BP is coming with...So I'm trusting my BP to a trusted neighbors son...I chose him only because, he's a responsible kid...

I explained to him everything, about the temperatures and humidity...My only fear that I have is my BP being fed...I'm gonna show him this Wednesday on how I feed my BP,

I'm also thinking that I should only have him feed twice in the next four weeks, just to lower the chances of anything going wrong...what do you guys think?

I agree. A feeding every two weeks isn't going to hurt the snake and it will decrease any chances of a feeding gone wrong. :gj:

3 days is my max without a snakesitter. With snake sitter it's 7 days. Even though I know he takes the best of care of them and will handle them very well, I just get homesick and need to see them after a week.

I don't like it, but would do it for a few days. Not more than that, though. Not without someone reliable at least coming and topping off all the water at an absolute minimum. I won't leave my dog (for more than eight hours), period- if he can't go, I don't go. I didn't even leave my dog for more than eight hours to give birth! LOL

I am going to be in the Keys for two weeks end of July/early August and will be entrusting my younger (21 yr old) brother to care for my reptiles. He will be staying at my house, since he has school that isn't far from where I live and doesn't mind topping off water and he has a boa himself (that my parents will be caring for while he's at my house) and so is used to feeding frozen thawed. He will only be feeding them once while I'm away. Without a snake-sitter though, I wouldn't leave them longer than a weekend.

I’d feed him the day you leave and then the lad can feed him two weeks later leaving a further two weeks before you get back ..
