If it was eating good, it could easily take 2 or 3 adult mice. Mine is about 24 inches, and takes an adult mouse every 2 days. I would feed it a rat crawler, since it cant really do any damage to it.
Put your snake in a 10 or 20 gallon aquarium with a hide box. about an hour later, put the rat crawler in, and turn off all the lights, or cover most of the cage. Check back about every hour to see how it is doing. DO NOT put a rat big enough to hurt the snake in. Maybe I was wrong to call it a rat crawler (I dont mess with rats, and dont really know the sizes) Put a rat in that does not have its eyes open yet, and does not have that much fur.
If one is available, you could put a rabbit "kit" pinkie) in there. My mom and sister have pet rabbits, and I plan to feed the babies to my bp when she is big enough. They cannot hurt your snake, so you could put it in overnight.
Best possible thing would be to move your snake into a smaller cage, so it will feel more secure. Put a few hideboxes in, and fake plants, or shelves help too. Also, if it is an aquarium, cover 3 sides of it with some "wallpaper" stuff. (the background you can buy for fish)
Hope this helps!!!!
