Video of my baby BP eating, Do I really need to UP my prey size yet?
http://media.putfile.com/ball-python-eating
click that and gimme opinions, seems like the size is perfect but others are saying he needs bigger
click and let it buffer for a few secs
if it doesn't work for you then you don't have the right codecs but it's fine, worked for a few people

yea you should for sure look into a little bigger dinner or at least feed a cple more at a time. find the largest part of your bp and then find a prey that is about the same size around a lil bigger is cool but dont go crazy.

I'm feeding fuzzies for a month or two and my snake is the same size I dunno, just me but I'm sticking with fuzzies for a little bit and then I'll bump him up. I'd ask a reptile specialty store or somethin'. I know mine was feeding fuzzies when I got him so... It's your call but doesn't look bad to me.

you could def go bigger on a the meal size. Id say a small adult mouse would be fine. Just make sure the mouse is small or a live hopper.

Rat fuzzy for the first couple of meals maybe to get them started - but it doesn't make for much of a meal - bump him to small rat pups or adult mice.

I agree. I'd go with a pup for sure; maybe even a small weanling...

Why? You've got a greater concentration of people experienced specifically with ball pythons here. The reptile specialty store by me gives horrid husbandry advice, and now asks ME for advice. 
Anyway - most definitely you can bump him up to hopper/small mice or a nice big rat pup. That's really not much of a meal from what I could see.
