My guy looks to be about the same size and he eats weaned rats (about twice the size of a hopper) and just recently he seems to be more hungry than one of those. Reiterating what someone else said, you can go by 10-15% of the body weight or size of the thickest part of the snake. I'm guessing going by either a hopper isn't enough for him.

My humble suggestion would be to offer another hopper and get a larger food source for the next feeding. Or even just get a larger rat and feed that sooner than 7 days.

I use 2 different thermostats, one is a zoomed thermostat and it was about 40 dollars at petco, the other is a 99 dollar herpstat proportional which i like better, but for the money the zoomed works fine, the first one i bought is 3 years old and is still working well. I would also go to a hardware or auto parts store and pick up a infa-red temp gun, they are very accurate for checking temps. Then if humidity is really a problem you can try covering the screen, then add a reptifogger which is what i use on a timer,they go off 4 times a day, and both my bps love comming out in the fog. i like using the front door display tanks, and realize i need to put in more effert to give my guys a perfect enviornment. Good luk, hes really pretty.
