Title pretty much says it all. Will it be ok to leave my 6.5-8 month old cornsnake for 3 weeks without being fed? He is currently on hoppers and is 60-63 grams.
I'm asking because I will be leaving for Spring break thursday I would rather not have him lying in poop for a week.
Seeing as how he was last fed last week on Monday and is on a 7 day schedule, that will make 20 days or 3 weeks.

Safe?
 
Edit: What about my 4 year old Florida King? He is 700 grams and is on the same schedule as the corn. Will he also be ok for 3 weeks?
 
Isn't there anyone who can help you out? That's the problem with pets - you have to plan your life around them. You may need to stay home if you can't get someone to care for your animals.

It might be urgent.

Set an alarm clock at 12 and start it. Glue a string onto the hour hand. The string should be connected to a slide that is covering a pipe that has one or two F/T feeders. Once the clock reaches 12, the slide will have inched enough away from the pipe to release the feeder. As for the other two weeks, there's nothing I can tell you. Try to find a friend who can "babysit" your pets for the time you're gone.
 
They would only be going 1 week with no water and no one here. I will be gone for one week only but the last time they would have been fed would have been 3 weeks due to my not feeding them this week or the next.

But its not a problem. I can feed them Thursday, and then again when I get back next Sunday. That is a 10 day interval.
 
Edit: One week withour fresh water. They would of course have their water changed right before I leave and have 2 water bowls each in case of an "accident"

:-offtopic Is spring break like in the movies? I mean lots of bikini clad girls swimming in a dirty lake, too much drinking, etc.

Yes, but that's not the point. Something may have actually happened, like he's visiting his _______ or his ________ just died (with the blanks filled in).

-offtopic Why does this- :bounce: exist?
