dont feed rats to you python that is crule rather give your python rump steak or beef or chiken make sure it is raw ...that is beter for your snake to eat trust me i am a vet.
^^why is feeding a rat to your snake any more cruel (by the way you spelled that wrong) than feeding it abused chicken and poor cows. Besides those foods were processed for HUMANS. snakes should eat food meant for them.
and the size of rodent depends on the size of your snake. Most likely a ball python would be eating mice not rats. My 2 year old male ball python eats adult frozen mice.

ONLY feed your ball dead prey. Live can injure or kill a ball python.If you leave dead mouse in their cage overnight, after they grab it, about 15-30 minutes before it is eaten. They digest for 48 hours, so do not handle them in that time or else they may throw up.
Is a 20 gallon tank big enough for an adult ball python?
I agree that a 20 gallon tank isn't big enough and they won't be very comportable in it but ball pythons don't get longer than 20 feet,the longest a female would get to would be 5 - 6 feet and a male would get to about 4 - 5 feet but that's rare! You could use a 30 gallon tank but the best would be a 40 gallon tank for a fully grown ball python!!
