yeah it's fine to handle him, a bit of exercise and stimulation might do him good lol
for an adult male i'd feed him a large or XL mouse fortnightly but monitor his weight monthly for any loss or gain |

it's up to you really.......i think it's more natural to feed fortnightly.
snakes haven't evolved to be digesting food all the time, they're more likely to be fit and health (IMO) when fed a larger meal less frequently
the exception is with breeding females that need much more energy and nutrition to produce and lay eggs |
