Long story short: I'm going to be leaving the country and leaving my snakes with my parents for a little while (2 months at most). Because I doubt my family and their abilities, how long can my snakes go without feed? I have a ball python and a red tail. Both of them are still pretty small. Ball python is year old and the red tail is only about 7-8 months old, if it matters. Please don't worry though. I will insure that they get fed at least once every two weeks. But, I was curious.
