Please do not paralyze or stun any feeder animal. If you are going to kill them please do it quickly and humanely. Do not stick it in the freezer, this causes extreme pain as the animal goes into hypothermia.
You can use dry ice to kill them using Co2.

A mouse hopper is way too small for a ball python. Depending on how big your ball is, you should be using nothing smaller than rat crawlers.
Be sure you have warmed the prey item up enough so the snake thinks it's alive. Milk snakes are not picky about temperature or the "zombie dance". Some ball pythons require both.
