I with-hold feedings on my larger snakes. My other personal snakes are bloods and well, they are always more than happy to with-hold droppings.



Honestly, I will adjust feeding cycle. With a 12 foot girl and a few 7 footers, I have them pretty well planned on how close to feeding does it take. Load up with aspen.



Check with a rescue to come in if you cant get a pet sitter willing to work with lizards. My rescue does this. It is less stressful for someone to come in rather than to board and many clinics do not accept reptile boarders because of this. work with reptiles.



Also if you are a member of a herp society, check with them as well and see if there is someone you click with.



Lots of pet sitting companies do not work with reptiles. Primarily because of the vast differences between species and well dogs and cats are easier.



Luckily we are rarely both gone from the house, but I am looking at this for next year with hubby joining me in daytona. Dogs will be boarded, but I would like someone in the house to watch it and check the room for issues. This is where a good friend really comes in handy. Thankfully I am excessively snake heavy here in both personal and rescue animals and can easily leave for 5 days with no concerns.
