It's good to get royals onto rats asap,why not try a weaned rat and see how it goes.As for size the prey should not be more than 1.5x the size of the thickest part of the snake and the weight seems ok,there all diffent

I agree with above. As a guide mine was 355g at approx 8 months. but dont panic though cos all grow at different rates.

As long as he is feeding regulary i wouldnt worry at all.
