Hey!
I'm going away on a Sheepbirthing work experience for 2 weeks. And I am finding it hard to get some one to feed my year and a half and my 3 month old corns.. I usually feed them both once a week.. I know they can last without food for ageeess but I'm just looking into the dangers of not feeding them for two weeks... |

Nearly all snakes go periods of not eating, Kellogs longest was 3 months, some go longer. 2 weeks is not a problem at all as long as they have water, you can go away no bother at all, which will be a relief to your mum just doing the water! |

wouldnt feed them extra either, so long as the water is changed by your mum when your away there is no issue whatsoever |

2 weeks is absolutely nothing to a snake, even a 3 month old one. Our 2.5 yr old is fed every 2 weeks anyway. As above the water id more of an issue, but if your mum is happy to change that then definitely don't worry about them :) |

My mum does the water and temperature.
She's afraid to take them out to feed them because the little one is too fast for her she says ;)
Im going to look into it some more and hopefully get soem more replys on here.
Maybe I will feed them a bit more than usual.. Small one 2 pinkies instead of 1 and the bigger one a big mouse and a largeish pink :) |

I think they will be fine for two weeks. As long as there is someone who would check/fill their water and check their temperatures, I don't think it'll be a problem unless they are skinny already. I would just feed them before you go then when you get back. They wouldn't eat so regularly in the wild. |
