Feeding 2 pinkie's

I was able to get a weight on my baby snake that I brought home 3 days ago. She weights 21 grams. According to the chart I should be feeding her 2 pinkies. She'll be due to eat in about 3 days... am I supposed to feed her the second one as soon as she finishes the first or am I supposed to wait a period of time?

Also, any guesses as to maybe how old she might be at 21 grams? The reptile store did not have a hatching date.

The 2 pinkies are fed one right after the other. She may eat one and ignore the other, or consume both. Without knowing how she was fed previously, it's hard to judge the age. It doesn't really matter, it's what growth she has from this point onward.

All of us were first time snake owners at one point. When I was a young boy every snake I found in the wild had mysteriously disappeared from my tank by the 3rd day. I guess my dad figured 2 days of admiring the snakes was sufficient.
