My snake has been fasting since December. Is there a certain month toward the end of the "fasting season" when the fast should be over. April,May? Definitely by June? Or can it continue through the summer as well.

There is no magical time they return to feed. They do it when they want to. Mine return to feed at different times of the year. Most are still off feed from the breeding season. The first clutch of the year was layed 04/17 and she took her first meal last night.

I had one female several years ago that was 2900g at the beginning of her fast. She went 19 months without eating and only lost down to 2630g. It's amazing how long these animals can go without eating and be perfectly fine. As long as they are fine and not loosing too much weight, I wouldn't worry about it.
