Hi cheapcolon,
Welcome to the group, This is a wonderful site where you can ask (and get answers too) as many questions as you need/
I would not (and some might not agree) offer your snake more then one mouse at a time. I also recommend feeding all snakes pre killed prey. It sounds as if it is definately a baby ball python, in which case should be fed even through the winter.
can you tell me what the temps in his / her cage is? That is always helpfull to know.
talk to you soon
Rusty
