Your snake will be fine going 2 weeks without food, although if you are worried at all, then feed him about 3-4 days before you go as well, that way all your friend has to do is a water change and has no risk of having to clean a pooey water bowl.
A turkey baster is good for many thing aside from basting turkeys,  with the water bowl next to the viv door all that has to be done is the door opened a smidge, the stale water sucked out and fresh water squirted in.

How long would you leave the water for? I've been doing some reading and some places say you must change it every day, yet others say once a week.
Also, what's everyone's views on water? Again I've seen wildly differing opinions, from tap water to bottled...  |

| I change mine every 2 days when I can, if on holiday or away they get it done every week. So long as they don't poo in it, it's all fine. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

| Mine were all fed about 5 days before I went away, mainly as it was their normal feeding day but also to make sure all had pooed before I went and to give me piece of mind that non would regurge. Going 2 weeks without feeding wont hurt them at all. I had a friend come in to check temps and change the water in my vivs every 2 days. |
