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.
