Feeding is an instinctual behavior. Mother Ball Pythons don't teach the neonates how to constrict and eat prey. If they didn't know what to do, they would die (some do in captivity) They're on their own from the moment they hatch. And seeing as his snake is four months old and he just got it two weeks ago, I'm assuming it's eaten before.
Regardless that has nothing to do with the fact that it took the mouse immediately, which is what I was addressing.
