A growing snake (anything less than an adult) can eat 10% to 13% of it's body weight per feeding. Babies eat every 4 to 5 days. Adolescents eat every 7 to 10 days, and adults every 14 to 21 days.

Your snake being young and small could eat weekly, perhaps even every 5 or 6 days.

The math is simple: you stated your snake weighs 32.3 grams. So, 32.3 X 12% = 3.88 grams. Whether you feed 2 pinkies or 1 hopper, try to make sure the meal weighs around the target weight.

Always weigh your snake after it poops the previous meal. Otherwise you're weighing 2 or 3 grams of poop as well.

As far as what a snake should look like properly fed:
