I would feed her once ever 5 to 7 days.

She should be able to eat good sized fuzzies. Once a week or so

Uhm he isn't that big. They kept him with 3 months old so it's smaller.

How much does he weigh? Our 11 month old snake is still fairly small at about 18g. He eats two pinkies every 5 or 6 days. We're in no rush to grow him quickly and he looks/acts good and healthy.

I have no idea how much he weighs honestly. I would guess 15-17g so two pinkies every 5-6 days should work? They were feeding him 1 every three days

It would be good to get a digital scale that weighs in grams. I have $10 one from Amazon that works great. I don't have the link handy, but search for Munson plan. That's a chart you can use as loose guide on when to move up food sizes according to your snake's weight. GL!

If you don't have a scale, you'll just have to eyeball it. Try to feed him a mouse that is about 1 to 1.5 times as thick as the widest part of his body. Just guessing from the picture, I think he can eat fuzzies. He probably weighs more than 15-17 grams.
