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

    I'm referring to you leaving town or not being able to see your enclosure for a few hours/days, whatever it may be.

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

    I'm currently out of town - I did complete enclosure cleanings the night before I left, and I'm sure I'll have a few overturned water dishes when I get back. I left last Saturday, I'll be back this coming Sunday to clean everyone up again.

    This isn't the first time I've left for a week, they all survive!

    A week is my limit. Everyone gets two water dishes while I'm away in case they decide that one's a toilet.

    Well, I did 10+ days but that's just because I was out of town for business for 2 weeks not too long ago but I still had my brother stopping in to check on them every other day and make sure that they all had water and their tubs were fairly clean.

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

    I go out of town occasionally, but I usually have someone checking in on them every other day.

    So, for me, without having someone else check them, 3 days.

    With them being checked, a week.

    That's pretty much the reason I posted it too

    I'll be away for 4 days and wanted to ensure things would be ok.
