My BP is about 18" long and is readily eating adult mice (20-30 grams). I don't want to try switcing over to rats because i don't want frozen rats that are going bad in my freezer (i only have one snake). At what length/width would it be able to eat small rats (55-89 grams, 4.5-6 inches)?

You don't have to go to rats, yet. Feed two mice at a time. It may be more expensive, but at the same time, it's only $1 a week we're really talking about and you have the more important criteria of non rats in the freezer.
My BPs are 22" and 23" and up to this week they settled fine for an adult mouse a week.
Today I fed them one mouse each and tonight they are already active. This is the first time I am witnessing this, so next week I will feed them each two.
