Male Ball python Help

He weighs 78 grams and roughly 16 inches long if i remember correctly. I'm currently feeding him Fuzzys, is that a good size? I was also told he was a blackhead mystic

Our first girl was 56g when we got her and refused first meal and regurgitated her 3rd, ever since then she’s been a 8/10 time eater. We started on mice fuzzies and graduated to rat fuzzies once she was around 150g.

She had snake mites when we got her too, we asked about the speck we spotted at the expo when we got her and the breeders assistant had said it was just substrate (also didn’t know enough about morphs, but had requested the non pastel and got her instead with pastel). I don’t know if they knew or not, but long story short we got rid of them. 4-5 month battle, but it brought her and us closer together and taught us a lot.
