I weighed him during the first week, but haven't again - trying to keep stress to a minimum. It does get cold here over the winter - some snow yesterday, even. I have seen him drink 3 times. I would assume he is drinking still, just not when I am watching. Before I covered the tank, except for a rare couple of minutes outside the tank, I was handling him very briefly twice a day when I resoaked the moss, as much to get a brief look at how he was doing, if anything.

Overall body condition? Color is great, eyes are clear, nose is clear, but I can tell where his spine is - even not knowing nuch about snakes, I can tell that he is not at a good weight.
