Try hopper mice or small adult mice. I started all of my babies whem I got them on hoppers or small adult mice.
I do remember when I got my first ball python being nervous with each increase in size, but he always did just fine. Just remember that with adult mice, they can't be left with your snake overnight, so be prepared to house them if not eaten in the first 30 minutes.
