feeding frequency during business trip

brianz Jun 21, 2004 10:55 PM

I have to be gone for 3 weeks and won't be able to feed my corn. She is 4 yrs old, good health and good eater, usually eats two adult mice every 10-14 days. If I do two or three normal feedings every 7 days, between now and when I leave in early July, can I then skip 3 weeks?

My wife will feed the snake begrudgingly, but hopefully I can stuff her up in advance. What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Brian

Just make sure your corn has water.Even I can get my wife to pour water in the snakes bowls when Im gone.She wont feed them no matter what.3 weeks non feeding is nothing to even sweat about if you have a healthy snake.Hope this helps calm you.Im a wreck when I have to leave my snakes for even a week.I get this sickly feeling my wife runs adds in the paper when Im gone.hehehehe(FOR ONE WEEK ONLY FREE SNAKES)just get them the hell out of my house.
