Is my boy big enough for large mice?

My beautiful son Corduroy is an unknown age adult corn snake I got from the local humane society. I have had him for several months now and when we picked him up we were told he was refusing all food at the shelter aside from fuzzies. He is WAY TOO BIG for fuzzies but he had to eat something so I wanted to make sure he was taking food alright before changing prey size. He ate a fuzzy fine after a month at home and now we’ve weighed him out at 506 grams.

Body condition looks good, I think I’m just paranoid about prey size because while we do own another snake, this is our first corn. For our ball python it makes sense he can eat prey the size he does but I’m worried Corduroy is too small for large mice. (Please note pics are from his quarantine tank before it has been mega cluttered, when you could actually see his whole body all at once. He has 3 hides and many ways to climb+soft fake foliage covering the sides and back)
