I am no where near an expert, but man, that setup is very very poor, to say the least.
Just from the little info you provided, it is...
too hot
too small
too dry
In a nutshell:
Provide 140* basking via one 45 watt halogen flood lamp. Cover the top with something solid, so humidity will not escape, and last but not least, get ready to build a larger cage, like NOW!!!!
Also feed him mice. Small rats are too big for him now. Especially 3 at a time, ESPECIALLY LIVE ONES!!!!!!!!!! If it has trouble eating, taking things down being a little too big, especially after he has to kill them first, means one thing...
Feed him something smaller!!! Adult mice would be fine!!
