Double Feeding Before Trip?

I have a corn snake that is currently on fuzzies and I was wondering if I should feed him 2 fuzzies before I go on vacation. I’ll be gone about 12 days.

How much does your snake weigh?
I'd probably go with normal food size. You don't want to feed too much and risk a regurge.

Not necessary. Corns can go a long time without eating, assuming he's in good condition right now. He will be glad to see you when you return from vacation with another fuzzy though.

You can put two large water bowls in the tank, the snake will be fine.

Lol yeah, I am notorious for not changing water daily. It shouldn't be a problem to leave the same water in there for a few days.

When I'm going to be gone for more than just an overnight, I feed the snakes 5-7 days before I leave, so they will be done digesting in plenty of time so I can shut off the UTH or rack heat before I go. It's a fire hazard. It is while you're home, too, but hopefully if anything were to happen you'd have a chance to catch it.

Hi I think 12 days is a long time without fresh water
Water goes off
Surly someone can pop in and change the water maybe every 2 days
If I lived near I would do it
