    What size mice?

    Fed my ball python for the first time yesterday and the petstore just got it in from the breeder literally a day before I bought it so they didnt know when it had last eaten. So after I set him/her up in the cage I waited 2 days till last night to feed. The petstore recomended I give it some pinkies at first to see if he will eat those since ball pythons can be picky eaters. Well not for this snake! I had 6 pinkies and it ate all of them one right after the other. The snake is about 21-22" long not sure on weight. I am not sure if that was enough to eat it seemed as if I put another in it would have been eaten as well. Should I wait till next week and then move up in size to fuzzies or should i try sooner? Should I keep giving them till he/she stops eating or will they stop when they are full? Also about handling now that it has eaten I should wait to handle but should I wait till it poops or will he/she be good to go after a day or two of digesting? I searched but didnt come up with problems about eating multiple mice mostly about not eating at all lol.
