I would not. Ball pythons can be "imprint feeders" which means once they get a taste for a specific prey item it can be next to impossible to switch them to something else. Hamsters are not going to be the easiest prey item to come by weekly for the next 20 - 30+ years and once hamsters get to be adults they have a ton of fur and some very long sharp teeth which aren't always agreeable with ball pythons.
