This is HUGE for me. Second week in a row he eats. Before that, hadn't eaten since he was before he was caught in October (so God knows when. Then he wouldn't eat after brumation. Looks like he's gonna make it, though. How often should I feed him to get some weight on him?

once a wk until he starts getting fat then every 2 wks until he starts getting skinny then back to once a wk.

after snakes have been on an extended fast, feeding them too much can cause regurgitation. Definitely don't try to power feed him to gain weight. Be sure to let him wait a week betweeen feedings.

Try a few smaller meals once every week to ten days, he can handle full size obviously, but maybe a round of smaller meals will help fill him out. My .02. Looks pretty good.
