Thank you.
During summer he'll eat every 10dys approx but now during winter he can not eat for a month or 2.
He's now 2.07m and I'm not sure how much he weighs.

Nice DP's everyone.
Armand- in response to your Q about the markings brightening up, put simply some do some don't. I have 3, 1 is almost pure black her markings are not visible from a distance [someone previously posted a thread titled 'Black Diamond' with a near pure black, amazing] one other is a bronze/yellow color the other shows little yellow and appears to look white on black. Juvies are generally darker with only faint markings that can color up with time. The brighter yellow is actually a marking on the individual scales as opposed to the rossettes, which are generally white when looked at closely.
Depending on the brightness of the yellow on the individual scales they can appear to be almost fluorescent yellow, in some cases a more bronze color, others appear to be green then you get what people refer to as Black and Whites[B&W]. MrBredli's second set of pics show a bronze color type and B&W. Most people prefer the yellow fluro look. Me I love em all.
The darker ones refract an awesome array of colors under light similar to the olive or water pythons. I think it's due to the lack of contrast which varried color/patterned pythons, like carpets, have.  
Bronze/Yellow coloring High Black [faint white markings].
sorry but best pics I have to try and show some variation. MrBredli's are much better pics : )
