Hi! You can feed a newborn BP a small adult mouse NP, so I think yours should be fine with the same. A good rule of thumb is to feed prey up to 1 1/2 x the width of the snake at it's midsection.

I have a 7 month old BP that is 22". Adult mice are the perfect size for him, feeder mice are only $1.49 at my Petco so it's a good deal.
