Re: too big?
Yeah, it looks to be the perfect size to me.
You should probably subdue it before offering it though. Switching from mice to rats can be problematic if you are not very careful about it. I have read lots of threads of snakes being bitten by Rats and then going off feed afterwords and refusing Rats from then on as well.
Good luck

Re: too big?
You really need to get a scale, it will take the guess work out of feeding.

Its best to feed wither frozen or prekill the rat before feeding thats what I did before switching to frozen.

Re: too big?
Good job a watchful eye when feeding and quick reactions if needed are the telltale signs of good husbandry practices.
Have you watched the Feeding lessons video (sticky) yet?

Re: too big?
I'm now glad I switched to this forum community from my old one. I feed live as well, and over there all I got was judgment. I am putting thought into switching to stunned or prekilled. Mas won't even look at a f/t.
