Yowsers!!! That could be why he's rubbing!!! Fuzzies are too small for a BP fresh out of the egg. So they're WAY too small for your BP.
He could be cruising for food. Considering there's only a fuzzy in his belly I'd say feed as soon as tonight. Typically I'd say wait at least 5 days, but a fuzzy is probably digested completely within a day or two. So I'd say give him an appropriate meal.

How much does the snake weigh? What size mice did you buy?

I bought larger hoppers to start out but im probably gonna go back and get rat pups. I emailed the vet and he said wait a few day but the thing is he hasnt seen him in person so i dont know if he understands. My bp seems kinda weak.

Hoppers are still WAY too small. Not trying to be rude, but you should probably start doing some research on your pet. This is why it's important to do your homework BEFORE bringing a living creature home.

That is why i said I'm gonna go hack for rat pups this may sound stupid but since he's been on fuzzies for so long i don't wanna jump right to rat pups i wanted to feed a hopper or two then do rat pups. I need to wait a few days anyway because they don't have any right now. Also he's very thin.

If it's an appropriate size, you don't need to work up like that. It will take what it'll be comfortable taking.

Ok they didn't have anyway. Plus i don't even think its an appropriate size cuz he's thin.

Ok, then he should be eating small adult mice or rat fuzzies.
