Can i feed my corn 2 pinkies?One yesterday and should i feed again today?

I wouldn't, cause you really shouldn't be handling a snake for at least 48 hours after feeding otherwise you risk the snake regurgitating.
 
First follow this post from Dean aka Roy Munson. This is the formula that most here follow. Yeah Dean is a trend setter here. (i follow it religiously)

Roy Munson said:
-When they're on single pinks (2-3g), I feed every 5-6 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 6-7 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (20-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+) See below.

Note: Adult females are fed more frequently than adult males (especially following brumation). Adult females are fed every 7-12 days; adult males are fed every 11-14 days.

This is by no means scientific, and not all corns will cooperate 100% with the schedule. The weight ranges I gave for the prey and snakes are approximate.

I have seen you ask many base questions that can be answered in a few threads here.
Please read this thread.
Husbandry and Basic Care FAQ

I also recommend picking up this book and reading it from front to cover.

IF you want to buy a copy you can get one directly from the author Kathy Love at http://www.cornutopia.com/

This should answer all the questions you will have starting out.

I agree, I've only had my corn for a couple of months- my first snake- and I have that exact book. It's SO helpful, for absolutely everything. And really well written so that people who don't know much about snakes can understand it too. There's lots of really good advice, I'd say it's well worth the cost.
