You're looking for 10 to 15% bodyweight, so roughly a 10 to 15 gram rodent at this point. That will likely be either a large hopper or a small weaned mouse. Or a small rat fuzzy. You can also eyeball that the width of the rodent should be a big as the thickest part of the snake.
I personally start my new snakes on the smaller end of the feeding scale for at least the first few successful feedings (so I'd do around a 12 gram rodent at your snake's size). It gets easier when they get larger because there's more wiggle room for how big the mouse or rat can be.
