Is it time to feed her two pinkies?

Thanks NH93. I'll try two next time.

Since you referred to "last week's feeding", it sounds like you are feeding her once a week. Although she would probably be ok with 2 pinks, especially if they are smaller pinks, there is more risk (regurge) with overfeeding than underfeeding (slower growth). There is still a pretty obvious lump in the picture you showed.

If you are in fact only feeding once every 7 days, it might be better to increase the frequency of feeding to every 4 or 5 days, instead of increasing the size of the meal.

I didn't exactly word that right. Sorry, I should have known that "last week' would have been misleading. She eats every five days, but most of the time it's in separate weeks. I just referred to it as last week, I probably should have been clearer.

I took that right after feeding her. I just thought the lump was smaller than usual. I'll try two tinier pinks next time.

Thanks for your concern!

And because she is so little, get a scale that measures in 1/10th grams. I keep a log book on my snakes: date, weight before each feeding, what size they ate (or didn't, I write it down and if they refuse to eat it I put a line through the mouse type so I know the exact date they do or don't eat), if they are in blue, if they shed, and anything unusual. This way I can come here with a question and have exact times of anything important that may help identify the cause.
