    Not Home Next Weekend

    Hey guys,

    So I'm going away next weekend and I'm just wondering if I should still feed tomorrow. I'll be switching the bedding to aspen for the weekend in case they pee and I'll be giving them a full bowl of fresh water. Anything else I should do?

    Thanks,
    Sky

    Well if it was me, I would keep doing everything exactly the same and not worry about the two days you will be gone. I would not switch bedding just for 2 days. And I would still feed, just my two cents....

    I wouldn't stress over just 2 days. Keep doing everything the same, and just make sure the water is full before you go.

    Ok thanks everyone. I'll just keep doin the same. If they pee and it soaks the paper towel could they get belly rot? Or does it take a longer period of time to happen?

    It would take a lot longer than 2 days. The snake should be fine.
