Escaped snake finally found - questions

I hadn't posted about this yet, but Trillian managed to escape her viv back in February. Still don't know how she managed it, but she somehow slid the sliding doors open, got out, and closed them behind her, because they were closed when I discovered her missing! I've been searching for her for the last two months with no success, and was almost ready to give up, when I found out from my neighbour last night that he found a snake OUTSIDE our apartment building Monday night! He showed me a picture and it was her! I have no idea how she got out of my apartment, let alone outside, but I'm so grateful he found her, as it was below freezing that night!

He had called animal control and they picked her up, and have her now, so I'll be picking her up after work. I'm going to give her a couple of days to let her settle back in after the stress of being outside in the cold and being taken to animal control, and then I'll feed her. My question is, she was eating adult mice, but with her not having eaten for two months, should I start off by feeding her weanlings, or even hoppers, and build back up to adult mice over time? Don't want to stress her into a regurge.

Thanks so much, SO relieved my Trillian is safe and sound, and I'll be locking down that viv BIG time tonight!!!! She is GROUNDED, lol.
 
WOW! Happy to hear she's safe... she must have been indoors until just recently, it's been cold!

I would agree with small mice to start with.

I know!!! Can't believe she left the nice warm building for the cold outdoors, but SO glad she was found quickly! They said she was VERY sluggish when they found her, poor thing. :(

Okay, I'll pick some up tonight, as I only have adults, fuzzies and pinkies at home. Would you say weanlings would be good, or should I go as small as hoppers?
 
If you can pick sizes I'd go with a big hopper or small weanling. Not that this has ever happened to me, I just feel like smaller meals never do any harm if there's stress involved.
