Going out of town for 2 weeks and am worried about leaving my guy alone. Mainly concerned about power going out or heat lamp burning out, something else unforeseen. If it was summer it wouldn't be much of an issue. Is something likely to happen, no, we haven't lost power in years, but you never know.

I don't have anyone that can come in and check on him, but the pet store I bought him from said they can board him for like 10 bucks a day. They will keep an eye on his temps, change his water and feed him if I want them to. Seems like a good idea to me.

However would this cause a lot of stress on him and I should just take my chances?

He's also in a 20 gal tank which will be a giant pain to drag in. What about switching him to a tub will that cause a bunch of stress? I'm thinking about doing that anyway.

Basically I just want to make this as easy on him as possible. He's the perfect snake, never nips, eats like a machine, doesn't mind being handled. Don't want any of that to change.
