frozen mice sizing question

Jeeze I post alot on here!! Sorry if that's not accepted.
I'm getting ready to purchase my first online order of mice, but i'm not sure what i should get. Jada is about 15in I haven't measured to be exact. I'm not sure what I should get. Extra small, or small. Are the extra small mice for hatchlings? And the small for say Jada's size? I don't want to make a wrong purchase and then be stuck with all these frozen rodents in my freezer! (wow does that sound weird) Are the extra smalls and smalls (mice) really about the same size?
 
the size depends on where you get them, different places use different weight/sizes for their feeders.

altho i would assume extra small is 0-1 gram

small would probably be fine, knowing they weight of jada, as well as where you are looking to order would help get better answers.
 
I would recommend getting the small.

If you get the extra small, you will find yourself having to feed her two before long.
 
You're talking about pinks, right? Not mice? Usually what's in the package varies a little. I open it up and sort them into three groups by size, and put them in separate ziplocks and feed the smallest ones first. If you get them and they are absolutely too big, you can always cut them in half for a while. Snakes grow fast.
 
I am considering getting them from Rodentpro.com. So far it seems to most reasonable for me. And yes pinks, nothing furry yet LOL.
