well, my snake is about 1/2 an inch wide as his widest point and about a foot and a halfish long, and I was wondering when I should move to the next size for his mice. Right now I'm feeding him pinkies, but the bump from the pinky goes away completly in about a day and a half. He gets down the pinkies easily, but i'm not sure if theyre to small for him yet. He's about five months old.

Always mostly awesome
That's a very good size chart.
If you don't have a scale, you can get them in the cook were section at most department stores forabout $20. A basic kitchen scale that does metric is all you need.
If you want to go by width, there is the old 1 1/2 diameter rule. Give your snake food no larger than 1 1/2 it's own width.
At five month you should probably be on at least 2 pinkies or 1 fuzzy.
