Usually if I'm gone a week I find someone to change the water once, midway through, I wouldn't want to leave it a week. Can the shop you bought it from (if you bought from a shop) offer a pet-sitting service?

Sorry to bring it up, but for others reading this, thinking of buying, these are the sort of issues you need to think about in advance.

At the end of the day, if you have to go away and really cannot find someone to put fresh water in once then yes, he'll survive.

I always get a friend to come and take a look every 2 days if im away so they have fresh water and clean paper in the rubs if needed. You can bet your bottom dollar that the minute your out the door snakey will go to the toilet. What would happen to your snake if it knocked the water over?
Can you not get a neighbour to check for you?
