short holiday

Postby andyfrance001 » Fri Sep 05, 2014 10:10 pm

I'm going away for a short holiday of three days I've placed fresh water for my skink and some locusts in tank but still a bit worried the heating is on a timer will he be ok without food three days?

W/o food for 3 days should be fine. Reptiles have an amazing metabolism. Although, I cannot say how "fresh" the water will stay. I've seen my guy poop in his water dish shortly after giving him fresh, then I'm like' WHY!?!?!?!!?" You might try putting a small bowl of dry dog kibble for him/her. It will handle being left out better than most other foods.
