Very pretty !! Congrats
You can also try rat fuzzies. I always try to switch my BP's (even the hatchlings) to rats ASAP. It can be a pain to feed an adult Ball Python mice, as it would take several mice to make up a proper meal. When you could just feed one medium rat.
Besides, you can get a live rat fuzzy if he doesn't go for frozen / thawed just yet. I would NOT leave a live mouse in that tank with the snake. They chew. Even on the snake. Most new snakes are a bit shy for feedings and might need to be "left alone" with the food. Never leave a rodent that chews food already in the tank with the snake. Unless frozen thawed or to small to do damage.
I would "black out" the sides, back and top of the cage, make it more "cozy" and not so exposed. Will help him feel safe, quicker.
Again, congrats on the new baby
