What size to feed?

So, I've been trying to figure out what size to feed my male corn snake and I was wondering if you could help. I've been feeding him about one fuzzy per week, and I'm just curious if that's too small? He's been eating it with no issues, but I don't know when to move up a size or anything. Here's some photos of him with the toilet paper tube hide he loves and will never stop using, didn't even want to leave for photos but it works so you can get some idea of the scale of the photo. i took the photos in his feeding box which is basically a shoebox but it works quite well



 
Does the fuzzy show as a lump after eating? About the time a meal does not leave a lump is when I move up to the next size.
 
If that's a toilet paper tube, the snake is ready! Small hoppers/crawlers should be no problem.
 
That is a toilet paper tube, and fuzzies don't leave that much of a lump. He had two pinkies today (i feed pre-killed and the store I normally get them was closed so I had to use the backup store and they only had pinkies). So, you think I should move up to a hopper next week or?
 
What does he weigh?

You should feed him a mouse that is 1.5 times his width at his widest point.
 
I don't have his current weight (the scale busted and I've yet to run to the store for a new one) right now but I hope to have him weighed again by the end of the week. I think a small hopper or large fuzzy should be fine to feed him then
