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
    Thanks a lot, this is very helpful! I didn't think about giving her the vet's info but now I'll be doing that as well. Even though my animals are healthy, you never know what could happen.
