    Re: going away

    Have fun on your trip! It sounds like it'll be pretty cool.

    As for your snake, when i'm away I always boost the thermostat (in the house) up so it's nice and toasty for them. (but I have to rely on a space heater to keep my temps up) Make sure everyone has a nice, big, fresh bowl of water and everyone is in they're cage. As long as you have a thermostat controling temps you should be good, but I always stress anyway.

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand

    Re: going away

    thanks!!good point about the house temps. it should be alright if i leave a space heater in my room at the regular house temps right? my dad doesnt want to heat the whole floor while we're gone if we dont have to.

    Re: going away

    I don't like the thought of leaving a space heater on, if I'm not home and able to monitor it. (but I'm paranoid) I know heating prices are a little up there, but I always bump up the house thermostat. It's worth the peace of mind, for me at least.

    Re: going away

    Welcome back!

    I am missing the era of the "good" winters we used to get regularly. We got a little ski deal for christmas and the kids are dying to go but too warm.
