How much food is too much?

I have a 2 year old Pueblan and I'm curious to find out how much food would be too much for him. Would he overeat if he doesn't need to eat? He weighs 4.6 oz, and is around 26 inches long. I have been giving him 2 fuzzies once a week for about 4 months now. I switched to the "Mice On Ice" brand, they seem to be a little bit larger than the "Gournet Rodents", which are the only 2 types in the pet stores around here. The current fuzzies are about the same size (or a little smaller) as he at his largest part of his body, and he likes to have two of them. I feed him in a separate container, one at a time, and it takes him about 20 minutes to finish them both. I offered him a "small mouse" a few weeks ago a he just sorta sized it up and down, and looked at me like I was insane "That's too BIG for ME!" Any advice or links would be greatly appreciated.
