First fuzzy feeding

I fed Pandora his first f/t fuzzy tonight and I'm wondering if it was too big? I have been feeding him a large pinkie every 4 days and they didn't seem to make a very big bump so I went up a size. I suppose if he was able to eat it and can keep it down then this size is ok? He just looks so full now but he is still active.
He is around 16", not sure on the weight.
Anyone have super sized feeding bump photos so I don't feel so bad? Thanks:)
16" dosen`t seem too big. How old is the snake? Mine are now eating 3 pinks a week, they are just about ready for fuzzys. they are 16 weeks old and about 20" give or take.
Mind you if it ate it easy enough, don`t worry.

I don't know his age, he came from a pet store. He could swallow a pink in about 2 minutes, he took around ten with the fuzzy. When I checked on him this morning he looks like he is digesting well. The bump doesn't look like its about to explode anymore:)
I'll get a better measurement later.

You measure by the girth of the snake, not the length. He'll probably be ok, as long as the mouse was no more than 1/5 times the widest part of the snake.
