I am going out of town for a week, but if my Avatar pops up here, it's my lovely freind Dara with a question. She will be caring for the scaley kids for the week. Talk to everyone soon!

Okay, Scripta, have a very nice trip! We'll be happy to help Dara out if she runs into any problems. I'm sure your animals will all be fine. I've left all my reptiles alone for up to a week before with no problems. Cold blooded animals have much slower metabolisms and can manage without food for a while if need be. Shortening their light timers (or no lights at all) while you're gone will also slow their metabolism a little more too.

Enjoy your trip! What a smart idea to give your friend this site in case she needs help or a little reassurance while you're gone. I think I'll do that the next time I have to leave Leo in my aunt's care.

Have a good trip. It sounds like you left your turtles in good hands.

Have a wonderful trip! I hope you're staying in some romantic cabin in the mountains!
