Ok up front let me say I have only had her about 4 weeks and she was shorter in length and a bit skinnier then.
I'm being told I need to up her food size, she is currently on pinky mice. Someone said go to fuzzies but I do not think she is big enough for fuzzies. Here are a variety of shots of her, some with a pencil to give an idea of her size.

I'm now worried that I am not feeding her right. My vet said the previous owners obviously had her in poor condition, he told me to offer 2 pinks but not to expect her to eat both everytime. He told me this last friday so this past sunday when it was time to feed I gave her two and she ate both. I feed every sunday. Should I feed more often? If I feed more often should I still offer 2 to try to get her bulked a bit? Or does she look ok? She is between 14 and 16 inches long. Its hard to get a good measure, sometimes she looks closer to 14 others closer to 16.
