Sid is between 54" and 60" long aqpprox age is unknown. He goes through a feeding fast every spring lasting for at least 3 months but he still gains weight during this time. He then refused to feed for another 6 weeks mid summer and guess what gained more weight. He now eighs 833g. Thats a weight gain of 72 gramms since january to present day and 4 1/2 months of that he didn't feed. Whats going on? He seems perfectly healthy.

they can maintain or even gain weight whilst brumating........i'd be inclined to diet him till he goes off feeding again though
