The snake will do fine for 7 days -just be sure there is waterin the bowl before you leave, and that thecage is in a spot where thereis no direct sunlight, likea window ledge, which could overheat the snake. Rat snakes are mosr partial to rodents and birds, rather than lizards, although they will eat most anything.

Also, make sure the snake has a hide where he can get out of sight -- does wondered for its state of mind.
