Sorry but that was hard to tell by that picture. But you would be surprise how big of an food item they can handle. What size are you feeding now? And is he having a feeding problem? Or did someone just tell you to cut them in half.

someone just told me, that was the first time i fed him, how long should it take to pass what they eat
 
Three to five days.
Tell me about your setup for the snake. bedding , heat. temps and such.
 
How old is your baby? I haven't heard you have to cut the pinks in half even for new born baby's. I'd only make sure the pinks you feed are small, as in day or 2 old. For our baby that was about a month old we fed her 1 small pink every 5 days, she is about 3 months old and I just moved her up to 2 pinks and soon will be trying fuzzies. I don't think it would hurt to try a full pink and see how your baby handles it. If you end up with a regurge, wait the 10 day regurge protocal then start again with the half pinks.... JMO
 
this is the first snake that i have had, so when i heard to cut them in half i figured that it was the best and that it might hurt the snake, probably sounds stupid but didn't wanna waste my money. so next time i am gonna try and feed him/her a whole pinkie and see what happens
 
When you go buy your pinkies, just ask for the very, very smallest ones. There is a huge size difference in "pinks."

doesn't sound stupid at all. I'm pretty sure your snake can handle a whole pink. Like I said before if for some reason it regurges the whole pink, wait 10 days then start again with half pinks for a couple feedings, then try the whole pink again,......good luck!
