New Ball Python

So i picked up this normal ball python today, put him in my tank that no one likes, but to my surprise he likes it! hes just cruisin around sleepin in his skull, although im not don't yet, I'm gonna add some old clean driftwood and vines to make it feel alot smaller for him, then im definitely good to go after i switch his tank to a 20 gal, possible 30? who knows, anyways say hello to baby Spartan :)

This guy I know bought him yesterday and he kept it in his tank with his older BP but i saw it and said " dude you can't let it be like that" so i bought it off of him for like 85$, he is VERY docile loves everyone, not to shy but loves to cruise around, I don't think this will be my only Ball Python.. I want another one already :)... he's a tiny little guy, I'm not sure if I should feed him pinkies or hoppers, I know the pictures aren't that good but what do you think?

He looks fine for small adult mice, not hoppers. Pinkies aren't a suitable meal even for newly hatched baby ball pythons. Leave those to the cornsnakes.

Did you get the temperatures all dialed in, hides, thermostat, undertank heater?
