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...
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.
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 :)
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 :)
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!
No food for two weeks?
