What do you breeders with large collections do with your herps when you go on vacations?

I try to not go on holidays when my leos are laying eggs.Otherwise I just get someone to mist hides and give them water and feed them once a week.

Like when your gone out of town for more than a week.

I am unfamiliar with this concept... Once you have a larger collection, especially with more delicate animals like my frogs, vacations become a thing of the past. I don't even like being away from home overnight, much less for a week or more.

Oh, so you don't go on them anymore.

I have 2 gecko sitters. They each come once a day to check on everyone. One comes in morn and one in eve

since my collection is up to around 36 with more than 3/4 of those being babies and an incubator still full of eggs, It was VERY nerve racking to go on my honeymoon.

I gave my brother and mother a week long lesson in Leopard husbandry. How to feed, when to feed, check for eggs, put up babies, clean cages. I must say they did a STELLAR job. My mom even came in and cleaned my wife and mine's house, since she is a neat freak LOL

We only been on vacation twice in seven years but we're lucky to have a great gecko sitter. Keith used to own a reptile shop and we pay his old partner to come over and check on the geckos while we're gone. If we ever lost him as a gecko sitter we probably wouldn't be able to travel at all.
