If you want him to bulk up and get big, then you need to build a large enclosure for him! A 40 gallon breeder is way to small and its not worth wasting your money on a 150 gallon. Build a wooden enclosure.
Feed it one or two mice a day, if not more. Sorry but it looks like the pet shop gave you very bad advice.
