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

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
    Very nice! I would definitely go overkill like that for a longer trip in equipment and info summary, but mine was only 7 days so my guys just skipped that week's meal. I actually have made some "basic husbandry requirements" index cards I plan to print out for next time. Last time I only had 3 snakes, this time I have 17, haha.
