Are you using a lamp for heat? If so, I will strongly suggest for colubrids a Under the tank heat pad on a dimmer or thermostat. I hide would be good you can use an old tupperware container with a hole in the side. Make sure the hole is atleast 2x the size of the snake. I wouldn't feed him again today. I would wait til he passes what you fed yesterday and then put him on an every other day schedule until his weights and strengths are back to normal. You can slowly increase the size and prolong the intervals as needed. Eventually he will be able to feed on prey 1.5x his body.
