Can a ball python survive on mice if thats all they will take as adults if so how many should I offer im not experiencing this personally this is just something I really wanted to find out

Yes they can but it will be far more expensive, and time consuming. Depending on the size of the BP an adult can easily eat 5 or more at a time. This is why many people recommend switching to rats as soon as possible to try to avoid this. Some BP's simply refuse to switch to rats, rare but it does happen if it does no worries the snake will live a long and healthy life on mice.

Yes, a ball python can thrive on a diet of mice only.

Depending on the size of 'your' snake multiple mice may be offered at the time of feeding to meet a suitable sized meal.
