The small adult rat that I gave to the guy on the right was 31 grams which should work for a 157 gram snake. I mean it's a little on the hefty side if you're sticking to the 10-15% rule. I'm just nervous that the rat would be a bit more vicious and scratch her. She's been scratched by mice but not deeply at all.
31g sounds more like a big rat pup or small weaned rat.
It's on the big side, but it's doable. I've fed at 20% before without problems.
This is why I generally like weights better than labels. Easier and faster to tell over the internet if something will work or not.

It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
It is okay to feed live food to snakes.
