agreed with zina- pinkies are way too small for ball pythons except for their very first couple meals. they can eat food about the same size as their thickest part. most of my snakes also tend to go for the belly/back area first, but they usually figure it out on their own when I leave them be. sometimes it can help in how you hold the food- if you hold it near the middle, they tend to go for the ends instead. good luck with your new friend!
