beautiful little snake. if there is still a visable bump then leave on pinks for a little while longer then try on double pinks, the guide that donnie has given is really useful too! |

A good guide to the size of food you should use is below. Not sure who the OP was but thanks to them anyway as it is very useful.
Single pinks 6 days Snake = 4-15g
Large pinks (2pink) 7 days Snake = 16-25g
Fuzz (5-6g) 7 days Snake = 26-40g
Small (8-10g) 7 days Snake = 41-80g
Small x 2 (8-10g) 7 days Snake = 80-120g
Mouse (18-20g) 7-14d days Snake = 120+g
Adult females after bromating are fed every 6-7 days.
Adult females are fed every 7 days.
Adult males are fed every 10 days.

rule of thumb is you feed nothing larger than 1.5 x the widest part of the snake, if one pinkie leaves no visible bump feed it another untill it can move up a size ;) |
