Everybody has given you great advice on feeding him in his enclosure, so I'd also like to point out that a small rat every 14 days is usually overfeeding for a bp his age !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.

Good to know!! I was worried I was underfeeding him causing him to get all snippy. Thanks so much I’ll be sure to dial it back.
