I've had my hatchling for 3 weeks and have fed one pinkie each week. She has grown in length but not width. When do I increase # of pinkies or move to fuzzies? Thanks for the help, I'm getting different answers all over , but you guys seem to know what you're doing.

A good rule of thumb is to feed you snake a food item (mouse) than is 1 1/2 time the snakes girth. So when you snakes grows more than that is a good time to move up.

She is about 13 - 14' long and the width of a woman's pinky

Would that be my wife's pinky or my large Aunt Helen pinky?
Now not to be funny, but that dosent' help.
