That snake is definitely able to eat an adult mouse. Its growing, and will do so based on how much food you give it. While there is no need to power feed it, its also probably small for its age based on the limited food. Colubrids generally have a higher metabolism than their thicker cousins. Give it an adult mouse per week and watch it grow

That snake is able to eat adult mice with no issues. Feed at least 1 adult mouse every week and maybe even 2 a week if it eat them. A full snake, makes a happy snake. My king snakes are my garbage cans, they eat what the others snake don't want. If they are full, they will just refuse the food.

^^^^^these. If your snake gets fat .....feed less. But I doubt it will.
