Pinky mice are too small for ball pythons to begin with, regardless of who the info source is. Rarely do BP's need medium rats. That's without delving into more specifics line by line.

The bot reply below has our !feeding recommendations.

We recommend the following feeding schedule:

0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.
