Shedding

Hey guys.
Some of you may know or remember, I got Reptar in September. I posted a lot about him not eating very much, and he still hasn't eaten much. He still poops every now and then when I put him in the bath tub but I'm a little bit concerned about him. He hasn't shed since I got him in September, he's actually never shed for me. I did weigh him in the beginning and I wrote the number down, but I can't remember it off the top of my head. I do plan to weigh him again to see if he's grown at all. Should I be worried that he hasn't shed?

What is his total length?
Do his thighs, hips, or tail look thin as opposed to plump or at least wll-formed?
Are his eyes clear when open?
Does he wheeze?

My guess is that he's resting for the winter.

His eyes are great. No wheezing. He still looks plump but I can tell his middle isn't as fat as when I got him. I'll measure him when I get him out though

what are are temps and humidity? How much is he eating? What is the temps of your basking area, or maybe he is hibernating.
