That's not to say overfeeding is a good idea, especially regularly, but feeding a slightly large feeder for a single meal isn't anything to worry about.
If he didn't regurg it, it wasn't too big. You'd be surprised what these snakes can put down.
Yup, they are amazing creatures. My boy put down a rat that was on the verge of being a large, where he eats mediums. He just constricted it, and ate. And yes, agreed, if they were in the wild they would eat whatever they can sink their teeth into.
