    How long do you have the snake. if hes new i would wait a week before trying to feed him. Sometimes they just need to get comfortable. You can always try a live hopper to get him started.

    Ball pythons can live on mice, just as they grow you can feed them 2 or 3 the same day just give them a chance to get it down. Most pet stores should have live mice. As long as the mouse is not wider than your snake you can feed him that mouse.
