    Your definitely going to want to up the prey size. That pinky was way too small for her. Also, how often do you feed your corn snake? If you are only feeding once a week or less you can't have your BP on the same schedule. She's too small to only be eating once a week or once every 2 weeks.

So i don't think just having it at room temp was good enough and/or my ball python is getting used to its new environment! Thanks for the tips everyone!

    You will be amazed at the size prey your BP can take. I did the same thing at first and fed pinkie mice, I used them up as to not waste money, but the next trip to the store I got small adult mice and she took it down no problem. My snake is young and roughly the same size as yours. It will grow and be healthier with the appropriate size prey.

    This is the size I am feeding my BP.
