How long will pinkies last?

My reply didn't seem to actually post, but my little guy was born mid September of 15 is 165g and still can't do pups. He is good with medium move which is probably close to a rat fuzzy.

I don't know how big your pups are but typically they are around the same size as an adult mouse. I was comfortably feeding pups to my smaller ball python when he was ~100g. You should just go by a feeder the same size as the widest part of his body. If thats what you're doing than maybe you have extraordinary large rat pups

I bought it from a local reptile shop fresh killed. It seemed closer to a weaned than a pup honestly but they said it was a pup.

Makes sense. Pups are usually anything between 20-30g generally. But everyone has their own weight ranges they consider to be a certain rodent size and in the end (and this is to the OP too) theres really no need to overthink this with ball pythons. Just see how big the snake is and go with something the same size as the largest part of the body.
