Hi,
As the others have said I think the path of wisdom is to let the snakes be while you are away for such a short time. Not only to take any potential stress away from the situation from the snakes point of view but also from your SO.
It always seems to work out best when the decision to hold them is more gradual and left to the person to choose when to start and for how long at a time. The snakes won't give two hoots unless the handling was forced and stressy.![]()
