Ok that weight sounds a lot better. Still low, but better. If SerpWidgets says he's 3'3", he could be as large as 3.5'. I don't put much stock in SW, it's usually off by 2"-4" (I've had it be off by over a foot before). If you measured him by hand then that's a more accurate measurement.

At 3'3", a jumbo mouse is probably best, at most a weaned rat. Just feed one of those every 2-3 weeks until he puts on a little weight. Small rats will definitely be too large for the time being, I'd wait until he's 4'+ for those.
