Snake babysitters?

[Citrus]

So I may go on a vacation this summer (only like a week, maybe two) and I don't know who will take care of my snakes. I get that they'll be fine as far as food goes, but what about temps as humidity? I don't trust any family or fiends to do it just because of their complete lack of knowledge. My probe has to be placed just right or els it rolls from under the tub and lets my UTH heat up too hot. Why do you guys do? Could a breeder watch them like if I brought them to him, or would a vet do this?
What are the charges for this?

Also another concern is water. While the temps and humidity may be fine the entire time, the water may run out and I can't add another/larger water dish because it will raise humidity too high. I'm thinking the reptile shop I got them from will know someone so I may give them a call. Again, this will be in the summer so it's not urgent

Offer to pay a local herper to come in every 2-3 days to check on them.

If you have a probe that's that easily to knock over, you should really secure it better.

I've left for a week before and my snakes were just fine. However, my whole setup is heated by RHPs and controlled by proportional thermostats.

If you're friendly with your reptile store, they might watch your BPs for you. I know my local reptile shop will watch your pet for 10 bucks a day.

It's not that the probe is easy to knock over or move, rather it's that I originally made my rack for leopard geckos and the tubs would have been smaller, allowing for enough space to completely get the probe under the tub. With these bigger tubs, I can only get the probe just barely wedged under and each time I move the tub I have to reach back and set it into place. I don't trust anyone with doing that. I do suppose I would have a better rack by then though

A lot of exotics vets will offer pet sitting as well (mine does at least). Probably more expensive but also more reliable than a petstore.
