    Re: I'll be gone for a week and somebody else will be watching over my snake. Any adv

    I am a tad overkill about these things but when I went on a 17-day vacation I made posters for the correct temperature and humidity levels, feeding procedure, and instructions on how to handle a bite (for the very unlikely chance that my BP might bite someone and hang on), and taped them to the wall above my BP's enclosure. I also made a diagram showing how the heating, thermostats, and probes in the enclosure work because I have a CHE and UTH and two thermostats, in case anything needed to be adjusted or shut off. Also explained all these details verbally in person before leaving and showed how to use the heat gun, how to spot clean the enclosure, and how to thaw and warm a mouse and feed.

    It's also a good idea to leave your local snake vet and your cats' vet info with your petsitter in case of any emergencies.

    Your BP is gorgeous and I love her eyes! Enjoy your vacation
