The store where I buy my feeders gives them to the customers in brown paper bags. If they're out of the size a customer asked for, they give the next best thing - but because they're in paper bags I didn't realize I'd gotten an adult mouse rather than a hopper until I got home. Hence the "mistake". I fed it anyway, because I figured she could handle it. But then she didn't move for ages which was completely out of the ordinary for her. That's why I considered mice too large.
Anyway, after much agression on her part, and me leaving for a lan cafe for about an hour, she finally ate the rat fuzzy. She didn't even bother to go back in her hide, and she's just laying there with this huge bulge in her middle. It looks too large for me, but I'll try again next week to make sure this wasn't a fluke. If she wants another one then I'll keep giving them to her. Otherwise, I'm going back to mice.

Damn, now thats a big meal. And being that we are on a snake forum, I do not find this offensive at all.

I saw the pic this morning and was wondering if I was the only one seeing it and had an issue with it as there weren't any comments, haha!

Naw your def right... a ball shouldnt be fed anything more than a medium rat... and even that is larger than most people choose to feed but itsnt toooooo unreasonable... a rabbit is probably the same as like 3 jumbo XXL rats.

That looks like a young rabbit. And although it's not really a good idea to feed rabbits, people use rabbits as feed often for larger snakes. VPI has even suggested that a small (NOT ADULT) rabbit can be used as food. I don't see what the big deal is. :/

That picture almost made me cry. I can't do snakes and rabbits; I just can't. I'm reminded of my little bunny I had as a child. 
That's exactly why I got snakes that will never need to eat prey so large.
