Re: First time Ball Python Owner
There's nothing to lose in trying to feed it. Either it takes it or it doesn't, and as was said, it already sounds thin so I say definitely try live and try today or tomorrow (Monday). If it does refuse, double check all your husbandry and then try again in another 5-7 days, since babies should be eating about every 5 days.
Good luck feeding and welcome to the forum!

Re: First time Ball Python Owner
Well she just ate a nice fat hopper mouse so that makes me feel better. I am using a dimmer switch on a ceramic Overhead buld and a dimmer on a under tank heater on one side of the tank to make it the hot side. Every time I check the temperature it has been pretty consistent. I have the water bowl over the UTH so I can turn it up a little and turn the OH down a little to keep my humidity where I want it.
