Christmas traveling and my BP

[Amanda1226]

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?
