    ben in reptile haven does a reptile minding service. try ring him or drop in for a chat with him. the beardie will be ok if left for no more than a week without food or water. just feed it before you go and let it soak in a bath for 20 mins and give it some juicy lettuce leafs sprayed with water the day before you go. leave a few crickets loose in the tank and a few wax worms in a dish.

    I never knew any of that! I'm only away for 4 days so thats great news! Thanks a million. I've never had bathed him before cause i was afraid he'd be affected by the water temp or that he might not be able to. Whats the deal with that??

    Washing them every now and then does them no harm, once the water is luke warm. it also can help them when there sheding.

    Yeah, Reptile Haven does a reptile boarding service, my green iggy Harvey Headbanger trashed the interior of one of tanks in there, he pulled down all the bark backing in the tank, that was a few years ago now the same tank would be a tight squueze for him. I'd recommend them, got 8 of my ten adult snakes there
