Hello all,
I will be going on a three week vacation next month and wanted some advice from the experts. My friend will be coming over a few times to monitor and make sure the snakes have fresh water. I posted on another reptile forum and they tended to agree that I should not worry about feeding the other snakes for this period. This seems reasonable for my other snakes, but I am a little worried about my two small garter snakes. They both are around six to eight inches long for a size reference. Do you think they would be alright for this period of time. I would have my buddy attempt a feeding but I would hate to not be around if something didn't go well. As they are cohabitating they could potentially be the most tricky feeding situation. I was wondering if I shouldn't lower their temps for a few weeks to slow down their metabolism, like a mini brumation. What is you all's take on this?
