@OP, that rat is fine, but depending on how he responds as far as taking it or not you may want to drop down in size a bit and just up a feeding schedule to say 5 days versus weekly. If he's underfed he may not want to take something that size but hopefully he does. Let us know.

AND......that snake is pretty darn SKINNY!!! it should probably be eating 15% of its body weight every week. I don't know if this is a recent rescue or not but it needs to be taken care of

EDIT: just looked and saw you just got him off CL. feed 15% body weight as mentioned above
You can't always go by the 10-15% of the body weight rule. You strictly go by the biggest part of the snake.
