3) It's not clear from your post but I would switch him to f/t rats also, if that's not what he ate for you already. Eventually this guy could get large enough to eat jumbo rats, and a live jumbo can inflict damage on a snake very quickly.

4) I would set up a QT tub that's bigger than a 20L tank for him, to give him a chance to stretch out if he wants.
Okay thanks. I was just worried about him ingesting substrate. I wouldn't have worried if he was on eco earth (what I will probably put him on if I take him) but he is on some kind of wood chips. I think it is probably pine, as it doesn't feel soft like aspen does.

And I did feed a frozen/thawed rat. That is what my BP gets. I couldn't feed live even if I wanted to, as I live in Canada and live rats are illegal here.

Thank you for the advice!
