I've been out of town for 6 days and I won't be home until tomorrow. Before I left I fed all of my T's well and filled their water bowls. I'm not used to being without T's for so long and I'm dying to get home. One or two of them were in possible pre-molt before I left which makes things more exciting. Oh yeah, I miss my wife and daughter too;).

I know that kind of feeling. The necessity and urgency feeling to get home is strong. I feel that on a weekly basis since my day job is far from my home that I see my adult T's only during weekends. I have only my slings and juvies with me at my apartment. It's really exciting when I come home..

That's how I feel with all my pets, especially the dogs. I usually take my sons away for a week in the summer and the first thing I ask my husband on our daily phone call is how the animals are.

Tsickness defined:
It is a distress or impairment caused by an actual or anticipated separation from your T's. Its cognitive hallmark is preoccupying thoughts of your attachment to your T's.

I know my dogs are in good hands when I leave but my T's are left to themselves as my ladies want nothing to do with them.:(
My husband says he doesn't mind them, but he doesn't really go near them nor open their tanks, the same with my corn snakes. Apparently he doesn't like the feeling of them (the snakes), but I think he's just a big wuss, lol.
I was away somewhere when my big corn shed and my OH knows, I like to check the skin is complete, so it must have been hilarious to watch 2 grown men (his brother was visiting) trying to get the skin out without coming in any close contact with the snake. I'm surprised they didn't get a large hook for that.
The same whenever I open the spiders' tanks, he gets quite paranoid. Especially when my Genic climbed over its partition wall and I had to coax it back over into her section, he was watching from miles away.

They'll be fine for we know that they can survive long in undue condition. Like in nature. They never know what's gonna come. Just tell us about your T reunion. :)
