    Truthfully, pinkies and fuzzies are too small for all but the tiniest of ball pythons. I have a little bitty Spider baby, only 40 grams and barely 10" long and he eats hopper mice easily.

    My larger baby, who's about 20" now and maybe 100 grams eats an adult mouse in seconds. Many snakes won't eat prey that is too small, it isn't worth their effort. Try going with slightly large prey like a hopper mouse and see what she does.
