I would try to get her switched over to rats But that's just my personal preference.

Thanks! If I were to switch her over to rats would I be looking for rat pups? Or what size? The adult mouse left a barely noticeable bump in her if that helps at all for reference.

Yes. Start her off on rat pups, and I would feed her every 5-7 days till she reaches 350 grams. Then I would switch her to weaned rats.

Re: First Ball Python :)
I will do that thank you! I could only find small rats ~ 40g so I bought some f/t adult mice for her ~ 20g. However I'm having issues trying to get her to take it. I've tried heating in water in a plastic bag, without the plastic bag and paper towel drying, by hair dryer, both in and out of her tub, and she doesn't seem to want to take it. Last time she ate was last Wednesday. Should I be worried at all since she is still a small BP? Her husbandry is good except her cool side is low. Working on getting that side warmer with an area warmer. She spends her time between the hides on each side.

I wouldn't worry to much. Just keep offering every 5 days or so eventually she will eat. Just be patient.
