Thin snakes in brumation can still be heathy.Does this snake seem strong in your hand or does it hang in your hand? Is it moving well or seem slugish. You may want to take him out and see if it eats? How many meals did it have post capture?
If you can get 3 or 4 fussies in him these next few weeks.I bet that will get him through till march when he can be taken out for the season.If he has more issues then just weight then thats a whole other story.Have you seen him drink water ? Adult milks can be fed by hand FT pinks by prying open the mouth with the pinkie head.
As far as mating I thought that was a scent responce. So he will be fine if he doesn't have a female near him.
I like to warm my males up for a few weeks before I let the females warm up.Let the dudes have a few meals w/o the girls to distract them
