I just feel like I should just call off my whole trip..lol :p (no going to happen though.)

maybe u shouldn't worry as long as ur friend knows wut to do and is comfortable around snakes they will be fine. Just call them if u feel worried. I'm sure your friend will do a great job u can right down instructions and give it to them so they know wut to do if anything goes wrong give them ur vets number and most of all don't worry and enjoy your trip!

Worrying won't do u any good

Be thankful they are snakes and not lizards or mammals. What does a snake need? Well, if you have their cages set up properly, all the person will need to do is put fresh water in once in awhile. I'm not kidding when I say that a monkey could do that. Its not like its a dog that needs to go out every day ot a lizard that needs live food every second day.

Only if you're going away for more than 2 weeks, then they'll need to be fed. I woudn't freak out. I know my snakes probably enjoy when I go away so that I don't pester them and shine the flashlight on them at night etc etc...
