The next size up is small mice. All you need to do is check that a small mouse is no thicker than 1.5 times the snakes thickness at its widest part. If you think that a small mouse is too large you could always give your snake 3 fuzzies

He may attempt it but if he can't manage it he will give up. He won't hurt himself trying
