Hey Chris. He began a "hard brumation" in mid november (his eating decreased a few weeks before that) and he just woke up afew days ago. I did not put him into brumation...he went down himself. I do offer greens everyday (kale, collard greens, endive). There are 2 females in the room however they are out of his sight. When he went into brumation he was 346 grams however i am unsure of his weight now because i do not have a scale (weighed at the vets). I am just basing the weight loss off of what i can see. His tail is still very thick and strong however which i belive is a good thing. I actually increased the temps right after i posted my first message and i have his bask up to 120 degrees at the moment. He is extremly active (running around the tank and clawing at the sides, bobbing his head, taking breaks in between to bask). I think you may be right about him having breeding on the mind. I guess all i can do is wait a few more days and observe any behaviour changes. I will keep you updated. Thanks for the quick response.

-Ryan
