    In my opinion, you should sort his set-up out.. also if you haven't got a thermostat I would regularly check the temps to see if they are ok.
    Once you have sorted everything out I think you should leave it a week let him settle in before you feed him.
    Once you weigh him, his weight divided by either 0.10 or 0.15.. (for example: 520*0.10/0.15 = 52/78) and that is the rodents weight size you should be feeding your BP. (this only applies to hatchling and juvenile BPs under 500g)

    Hopefully this makes sense I'm a bit rusty with information.
