It's healthier for a snake to be a tad skinny than a tad fat, despite however you may prefer it.

As far as switching, just keep offering and eventually he'll take it. With my bp, offering my rats/mice warm over the entire body helps. Sometimes he'll take it if I leave it in the enclosure. Took me 1.5 years to switch mine after ~6 years of eating live, so my best advise is persistence.
