At 4 feet your ball python is pretty much full grown. Ball pythons are a popular pet species due to their gentle nature. Do you have the enclosure as well and know what the previous owner had been feeding it? Frozen/thawed rodents are safer and more convenient but yours may be imprinted on live prey which you may have to continue for awhile
Here are 3 good care sheets on them.

Python take special nutrition, special humidity and living conditions. If you are going to keep it do some fast reading. And be prepared to raise mice for it to eat. Remember that critter can live a very long time and get very large and like to eat, small dogs and cats.. It is does not thrive, be sure to re-home it quickly when it can get proper care.
