Yeah, it'd basically be giving my sister (more than likely my dad) a crash course in care, asking him to check up on the snake and make sure all the temps/humidity are correct. I'd still be going there once or twice a week to look at her myself, but it would basically be me having a snake at my parents' place for a few months.

Alright, thanks guys. I was just assuming that since it's an established snake, if the girl seemed like she had a good idea for husbandry and snake care (the snake in question is a fairly large female, apparently she's had her a few years) that I could just assume it was healthy after a quick vet visit. Oh well, I can probably talk my parents into letting me QT it there for awhile, my mom came around as soon as she saw Ruth and my father has always wanted a snake.
