I found a local rat breeder that I am going to start getting rats from starting tomorrow, my ball python is under a year old and is 4 inches in girth, circumference, around, whatever you call it. So should I get a pinkie? Hopper? Or something else? This is my first snake and he still acts hungry when I feed him a mouse from the pet store but I don't know what kind of mice they were, they looked like a adult white mouse but only about 2 inches long not counting the tail. So I want to switch to rats early I just need help getting the right size. Sorry for the long post just trying to get everything in there.
PS he will only eat live
