Yes that is odd.
Are you sure it's two months. Mark the date next time.
I personally don't follow that feeding plan (nothing wrong with it) so I guess your feeding size is right. But to me, being "six month old" it could be on fuzzy by now. But... I can't see the snake. Hopfully with larger size it will shed more on "time"
 
Do the pinks leave a visible lump in the snake for 48 hours after eating? If it goes down sooner, then you're ready to move to the next size of food.

Bear in mind that the Munson Plan is a guideline only and outlines what has worked for Dean's brood over the years. It's an excellent starting point, but you may have to tweak it if you find it doesn't work for your snake. Every Corn is an individual and will have slightly different needs. Sounds like yours might need you to increase the food size and/or frequency of feeding, ahead of the schedule that Dean follows.
