Hello everyone,

Hi Nicky your best bet would be to put the snake in a pillow case and set it on the floor, and for it stressing the snake, after you get her tank all set up again just leave her alone for a couple days she will be fine!!

Why can't you leave her alone for 2 weeks? That's what makes snakes great pets. Just make sure the water dish is full. 2 weeks is nothing man. I went to Cuba for 3 weeks last summer and I had gravid Rainbows and Balls. They were due to lay/give birth the day after I got back! I was pretty worried the whole plane ride back too! But my Mom had Don's number just in case anything happened!

I know that snakes can easily go for weeks & months without eating but I read that they [king snakes, anyway] will urinate in their water dish which therefore needs to be cleaned and refreshed often to prevent them from "drinking from the toilet". :toilet:

I'm sure that most snakes would still be OK if left for 3 weeks or so but I'm not going to do that to my snake.

meh, i've got a pretty cool mom that loves to feed my snake (especially since we've started to feed with kitchen tongs) so leaving it for a week is no problemo for now. Even when I go to college end of next year she said she'd take care of my snakes (i'll have at least 2 by then) while i'm gone. Hopefully i'll be able to take at least one with me
