We are new in the snake world. We have a baby, 14 in and about the size of a pencil in diameter. We've been feeding 1 pinkie a week. He eats it fine, seems like the size is a max for his mouth. After about 1 hour, the lump from the pinkie is gone. He always has a bm by the next day. I don't know if I can move up in size, but is he getting enough to eat?
 
Hi there.
Welcome to the forum.
The general rule to what size should I feed my snake is ...
Feed You snake that is 1 1/2 times the widest point of the snake (girth), cause snake grow at difference rate so it hard to tell without picture.
But I would think the snake is ready to be bump up if it leave no visable lump after a hour. But I would feed it two pinky for a few feeding to help the snake get adjusted to a larger meal. Than one fuzzy. And please note that the poop will be difference too, fur and such. It will also take longer to digest too.
Here a few links to read up on too.
