Not sure what you mean by, "crease marks in a lot of scales", but the skin showing in between the scales is from eating larger food items and is just stretching it to grow. You know different people will tell you different things we all have opinions. The adult mice per week sound reasonable if you are not going to brumate him or try to breed him. If you want to push his size rats are good. Again not sure what crease marks your talking about, but your snake still has some growing to do so he will absorb the food and turn it into growth untill he starts to reach his upper limit and his growth slows down considerably. Also a medium rat to you maybe a medium large rat to someone else?
