    Re: Just the head ??

    Pinkies are too small for a ball python. You would have to feed it 5-6 in one sitting for it to be at all worth it. Try hoppers or small adult mice instead.

    Pinkies fall apart very easily. A full grown mouse should never just rip apart like that..

    i would at least try a fuzzie. a pinkie is way smaller then the width of a carrot. You want a prey item about the size of the snakes widest part. if he is willing to eat, get as much food in him as you can, don't sit there throwing pinkies at him.
