To me that looks like a perfect sized rat for the time being
Try make him take it head first
Why?
Im not sure if this is true or not, but sometimes i have noticed my childrens python struggle because the legs are sticking out and they stuck out of the sides of his mouth, he was stuck for about 15 mins trying to get past, it has happend a few times so ever since i have offerd it head first and he hasnt had that problem.

Nothing like to large a meal to cause a bit of prolapse either....
I have heard that its best for them to take it head first as the claws and hair dont scratch but that only what i was told...
I've taught all mine (except the stimi's cause they're too dumb) to use chop sticks. It means they get it right everytime.I'm guilty of attempting to intervene when I think they have got it wrong. But with a reputible, knowledgable person beside me when I was trying to get my first snake to eat, did wonders for my confidence. They don't need us to poke the legs into their mouth for them, they don't need us to take their food off them to get it the right way round. They don't care if they take half hour to eat their kill. They will work it out.
