Feeding 2 pinkies @ 13g ?

I know many ppl refer to the Munson plan as just a guideline but I wanted to make sure this was ok.

I fed my snake the largest pinkie I had last week and a day later he was out exploring his viv. He really seems to be very active and after a day I really can't notice any bump at all.

I've got 1 large pinky left and after that only smaller ones , there shouldn't be any problem feeding him 2 pinkies if he's only 13g should there ?
 
I have tiny pinks and a snake who is only about 11g now. He was just as active and quick-digesting as yours on only one, and several forum members suggested I take him up to 2. I have, and he seems to be doing just fine. He actually hides for a day to digest now, and I can actually see a feeding lump the next day! No harm in trying two of the small pinks, I think. 13g is pretty close to the switch-point anyway. And if your pinkies are tiny, you'll be underfeeding him by giving him only one. Can you weigh the pinks?
 
I'm feeding every 5 days.

Yes I can weigh the pinkies. I'll make sure they're no heavier than 2g each when I do give him 2.
 
You can always do a couple meals of 1.5 pinks, too, and then go to doubles. You cut them before thawing.
