That looks like an appropriate sized meal for him.
Have you weighed the hoppers? They might be on the bigger size.
They might actually be closer to weanling size.

I use the Munson plan as a guide, but I usually wait a few grams over what it says to switch up to next size.
It's just something that can give you an idea of what size to feed your snake.

1.5 X the width of the widest part of the snake is another guide for feeding your snakes, and is helpful if you do not have a scale.

I have never weighed them honestly. I don't think I realized you should

It's not necessary, but sometimes they are labeled wrong, or if you order bulk, there may be some smaller, some larger in the bag.

I usually don't weigh the rodents, but I can usually tell by looking what category they fit into.
I do like the variable sizes in a bag, because I often have some that are not wuite ready to move up a full size, so the "in between" sizes can be fed in the meantime.

I have a local pet store I go to. A real popular one that seem to be very good with their animals. But I get the mice from them.

It's nice to have those available.
I have a few local breeders I can go to if needed.
I have a couple small colonies of mice, mainly for day old pinks for my hatchlings, and now, one of my babies will only eat live pinks. Ugh
