Yes. And most likely very soon, 3 grown mice. You should switch to weaned rats, if you can. And when the snake gets about 400 grams or so, switch to small rats.

It's going to get expensive to keep using petsmart. You should probably just order online and buy a bag or two.

I would switch to rats now while you have a chance. Your snake should take a rat pup. Do it before its too late and develop a taste for mice.

That weight sounds awfully small for an 8 month-old... I know snakes grow at different rates, but all of mine were at LEAST 500-600g by that age. What has it been eating in the past, and how often? I think it could handle two small-ish mice by now, and I agree about finding a new source for the mice - Petsmart/Petco grossly overcharges, at least around here (since they don't technically sell "feeders," just pet mice).

I'm not sure where you live, but I'd look out for pet expos. They are generally the best place to stock up. Also, I'd start to feed your ball rats. It is easier for your snake to eat once, rater then lots of small meals. I know I have a couple balls who strike once, and after that they wont go near a second meal.
Goodluck
