I've had Fester for 4 days now and he seems to be doing really well - really active and friendly towards me when I held him (I know, I didn't wait the week )... Anyway, when I got him he was on live mice hoppers and I couldn't get ahold of the person that I wanted to buy some frozen ones from, so I bought some frozen rat pinkies from someone else. I was excited, so I thought I'd try one tonight and..success!! He took it right away, it was extremely fast! I feel like such a proud snake mom :p He downed it within 10 minutes too. Pictures are below..they aren't great quality because I didn't want to disturb him.

Also, if he ate the rat that fast does that mean he could use another? Or is that a normal swallowing time?
