Yes water will be the most important thing, I would have someone check it once every other day or so. You shouldn't worry about the food, they can last two months about with no food. Yes make sure the person refilling water puts the weights or w/e you have on your cage to keep your snake from escaping. I'm basically repeating everything Flagg just said.

Agree with Flagg and Jimmy that a healthy adult Corn can happily be left for three weeks without eating, as long as someone changes the water regularly (and closes the door carefully!).
However, younger snakes that need to eat more often - I'm thinking anything on pinkies or fuzzies - or where you have some kind of health concern, probably should be found "boarding accommodation" or have a person with reptile knowledge check in on them and feed them, as well as changing the water.

lol i was was just about to ask if my snake was going to b ok for 5 days no need to start a new thread now
Thanks for the replies 
Our corn is 2 years old so water only will be fine then. Last year my friend looked after him & left the door open which resulted in 4 weeks awol. He eventually turned up on his neighbours sofa which was quite amusing.
What do I do about the heat ? Shall I leave both light & mat on or just the mat ?

If they can only check once per week, I would leave 2 fairly large water bowls in the cage (large enough so that you are SURE they won't evaporate in a week). That way, if he poops in one of the bowls, he will still have clean water in the other one.
Might not be a bad idea to put a few drops of grapefruit seed extract in the water to keep bacteria from growing in it. Be sure you don't use too much, or it will taste bitter and the snake won't drink it. Mix it in a glass first and taste it so you will know how much to use without ruining it. And try it on the snake before you leave to make sure he will drink it.
