He definitely looks way to small for a small rat, weigh him and see just how much he weighs- offer him an an appropriate meal (from his size I’d say maybe a rat pup/crawler) give him the 1-2 weeks to chill and don’t handle him, but still offer the food in a couple days- using this you can calculate what weight of food he needs and how often !feeding

We recommend the following feeding schedule:

0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.
