My post was about how quick he grows and then got onto feeding. I haven't weight him lately will do it today just to make sure.

The shop I got him from told me too feed him 1 pink a week for a month and then move him up too the larger rat pinks, the fluffies I have are no bigger than the large rat pinks.

I fed him the mice pinks once a week but then upped it to 2 as he was hungry (tried to eat my finger) I have mouse pinks, rat pinks and now small fluffies that I picked up yesterday at the pet store. I gave him one large rat pink last week but he took it and regulated it. When I spoke to the pet shop they said that it could be because of the taste of the rats being different and to try the fluffies so that's all I'm going off.

I have had a full grown corn before but never from a hatchling so feeding this guy is new too me

Like I said, I would wait for the experts to weigh in. Pet stores are NOTORIOUS for giving bad advice.
A hatchling snake will eat until it kills itself if you let it. It trying to eat your finger means nothing more than your finger smelled like mouse.
In all likely hood, it regurged because the rat pink was too large, not because it tasted different.
Which is why you should follow a feeding plan. If you snake has another regurge, it could very well be it's last.
I don't claim to be an expert, BUT I am a trained biologist who happens to have 9 snakes (new world and old world). I have never had a snake regurgitate, mainly because I follow a feeding plan.
That is all I will say about it.

Good Luck,

Just weighted him and he weight 30gs and had a look at the Munson scale witch says 30g should be on a small fuzzy.

So going of that I think I'm pretty much dead on where I need to be
