That is kind of a big meal, but don't worry about it. Snakes can take some pretty BIG meals for their size. Larger meals of course will take longer to digest. Don't worry about it, just keep him warm and leave him alone. If he ever DOES regurge, take care of it from there to get him rehydrated. If he does regurge, I've heard Pedialyte mixed in water is great for rehydration. His gut flora also needs time to replenish, so if you are feeding every 7 days, wait 14 days before the next feeding. Feeding too soon can actually do more harm than good. All you can really do now is wait it out. If nothing happens in a day or two then you're good. Usually if a snake eats too big of a meal, they regurge within 24 hours.
