    Well, do you know how old your ball python is? Or, how much she ways? Mine took three shortly after I got her. Try to guess how many fuzzies it would take to make the same size as your bp's girth.

    fuzzy rats? or mice?

    A food item for your snake should be about 4.5-6 inches in width. Probably a weaned or small rat. Prey should be the widest part of your snake, and add another half.
