    They should be fine, just feed them a little extra and make sure they have clean water.

    Babies that are well fed, say once a day or nearly every day can be left at home, with access to water, for up to around 5 days no problem. They won't starve. If you need to be gone longer, stop feeding them a couple of days in advance, and turn off their heat before you leave. I do this anyway. That way their water doesn't evaporate so quickly, and their need for food will be greatly reduced at the lower temperature.

    Just remember that these snakes are tougher than you're giving them credit for. Their physiology is built for this. They can eat more than they need for a period of time, and when things get lean, they can then go long periods without food.

    I feed my babies a little bit almost every day. And occasionally, I don't feed them for several days. It doesn't hurt them one bit.

    Lol ok. He's not fat.. yet. We usually do once day. We did twice couple times because he seemed hungry and I felt bad lol. I'll bring him down to every other. His "begging" is just hard to resist but the little skinny one barely eats. Takes a couple bites every two or three days. Frustrating, but it seems like I'm maybe just being paranoid?

    Ok, well as long as he's alright. He's getting ready to shed for the second time since I've had him (the bigger chowhound beat him to it by a couple weeks and is much bigger), so he must be growing at least a little..

    all my babies are doing grreat except 2 im worried about. 2 have only eaten 2x but are still very active and lots of tongue flicking. The others are get big very quick. I dont know when they will shed. Im excited to see if colors will be brought out more. I hope they dont all shed at once but itd be coool at the same time.

    That's like my two. The big eater is hella growing, but the finicky eater is tiny. Are you keeping them in all together then?
