My newly hatched ball python was eating rat pinks for a first meal and now, 4 months later is big enough for small mice or rat pups. Most ball pythons can take rat pinks as a first meal, or mouse hoppers if they are mouse feeders.

Are hoppers and fuzzys the same thing? The real only size of live prey I can get around here is 2.5" diameter mice. Do you think he can get one of those down?
