Skipping a week for feeding

[Jughead915]

Quick question...I normally feed my ball every week on Sunday. He's approximately 600g and 10 months old. Now I'm not sure if that's in the "normal" range or not, but here's my question...if I have to skip a week of feeding will that do any "harm"? I'm heading out of town for 12 days, and I'll feed him the day I leave. I have someone who can check and fill his water, but doesn't want to feed him. He might be hungry, but I don't want to promote any negative effects from going that long between feedings. Is this a problem or would it be ok? Thanks!

Nah, a once in a while longer period between feedings won't really do much harm. If anything, it'll help stimulate your snake's appetite!

Skipping feeding is fine however do not feed the day you leave.

Stop feeding 5 to 7 days before your trip.

Should you feed the day you leave and something goes wrong and your BP regurgitate while you're gone it could be a pretty bad situation.
