Would it be a good idea to go to a feeding schedule of either 5 or 6 days instead of 7? The small rats are the right size food for him, they are easily handled by him and leave a slight bulge when he is done. He is hungry enough that he is snapping at us when we put him in the food container, and you better not put anything moving near it that isn't a rat after he is in there or he will nail it.
Every 7 days with an appropriately sized prey item is the way to go. BPs are way overfed in captivity...
