So I know it would probably be ideal to leave my hatchlings in the chamber and have my neighbor/friend take care of them but I'm worried something could be off with temps/humidity, or a hatchling get lethargic, or some random issue and cause a lot of stress so due to the fact that I just got the two new hatchlings, I'm very seriously considering taking all 3 of them with me on a 5 day trip.
I have a smaller closed chamber already half ready to go. The same temp box I kept freckles in for the first few days I had her. It only has one cut out for a dome on top so I would have to swap out a daytime heat source and the CHE each morning and night. IS THIS A TERRIBLE IDEA? I trust my friend to care for animals properly. She is an animal lover and regularly volunteers at animal shelters and is a lovely lady. It's not that I don't think she can handle their care. It's just that I am home every day and monitor them like I do my toddler so I am observant of any little issue very quickly. If I leave them in her care, she would come 2-3 times a day.
Soooooo...leave them or take them? I am a worry wart by nature so that is why I'm even considering boxing the babies up and packing them along on the trip.
