Hi my name is Alex, And I think im the newest one to this forum. I want to start off b y saying this site is the best ever. well anyways I did a lot of research and lots of other things before i bought my ball python. Last Saturday i went off and bought it. Well it is about 4-5 months old and i keep it in a short 25 gallon tank. Well it seems happy and like the place. What i need to know is what to feed him. Well last wednesday i fed him a pinkie but he didnt want to eat it. So i put him back in the tanks and so i put the pinkie in there too. 3 hours later it was gone. Well what im gettin to is to ask if a pinkie is too small for my 4 month snake? What should i feed him and everywhere i been they only seel adult mice. And heres a picture of Roca so you guys could help my out better according to size. Well thanks And ill catch you guys later.

Hey there! I agree with Jeff, at least adult mice, try to pick out the bigger ones as some can be pretty small. They can eat this from when they are out of the egg as Jeff said so there is no problem with this.
if you get adult mice ( which is ok) make sure you serious give them head trama ( stunning) or like on the verge of death from head trama....give yer little guy a chance, so the mouse wont freak out and bite / seriously wound yer little guy.......

what ever you do, dont hold the mouse by the tail and wave it infront of the snake, that is one of the most stupid things a snake owner can do, u can use bacon tongs, but use those to grab the mouse by the tail, or if it is live, just stick the mouse in and let the snake do its stuff
