    It's not uncommon for keepers of Boas and Carpets. And maybe even the giant snakes if size appropriate.

    The only problem I see with a BP is will they accept it, being that many are so picky to begin with.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    I do.

    Not all of them take them, but I have several who do as part of their diet. They're the one week old ones (around 35g to 45g).

    The ones who will take usually get a quail every 4 weeks or so. Smaller BP's will get just the quail if it's appropriate size, bigger ones will get a second prey around the same size, either a rat, chick, or mouse depending on what they will eat.

    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.
