DO NOT FEED HER LARGER PREY ITEMS JUST YET!!!! yes she could easily get them down, her stomach isn't ready yet. I have seen numerous times where appropriate sized items were fed to malnurished animals and they died within 48 hrs from the prey item rotting inside them. This snake does not have the digestive juices to handle a larger prey item. I would feed at least 4 or 5 more times of mouse pinkies then move up to rat pinkies. it is better to be slow and safe than have the snake die from rushing things.
