As an opportunistic eater, he will happily eat himself to death if you allow it. It's just like kids and sugar...gotta put your foot down for their sake.
 
Do you think a small fuzzy and small pinkie every 7 day is enough??
Or should I up the size of his fuzzy??

you stated he weighed 39 grams.

He should be eating once a week a food item that weighs about 10% to 13% of his body weight.

I would suggest something around 4.5 grams weekly. That could be 1 mouse that weighs that amount, or 2 mice that equal that.
 
Ok that's great it helps me a lot he is my first snake I just want to look after the best way I can

That's probably plenty. I've kept my '16s on a single fuzzy, partially because I don't have the time or patience to add on a pinky to the ones who are nearly ready for hoppers. My heaviest is over the 70g mark, but still getting 1 fuzzy every 6 days. I'm waiting for a few more to catch up before moving any of them to a larger size.
 
I wonder if you could help
what's you thought about aspen bending or kitchen towel on the floor of my viv or even news paper
