he ate four...
pinkies during one meal?! wow! i usually only gave my snake one pinkie every four days when he was that young. it seems like an awful lot, i would suggest no more than two pinkies or one peach fuzzie.
as for shedding...do you know when the last time he shed was while still with the breeder? if he's been eating that much and you've had him for almost a month i would say that within two weeks you should see a fresh new skin on your little guy.

Hi again Norbert! He ate four because Bodget gave him four. He was eating one every 5 days when we got him but looked like he was rooting for more (I posted about this) so I upped it to three as they really were the smallest pinkies you'd ever seen. Even after the three he didn't settle, he was out and about the viv looking for more, so the last feed he had four.
To be honest, I should have called trading standards as they were so underdeveloped they had less than stumps for legs!!!

hehe...some might...
disagree with me about the feeding, i'm not sure. i've been told my snake is underfed before so it's clear that opinions vary on how often how much food you offer a snake. if these pinkies had no legs, lol and were as small as you say then giving your guy more was probably fine.
i didn't ask much when i got mine snake, too. i get excited very easily and forget everything i had intended to bring up. oh well, yea, i'm sure the little one will shed before the month's end.
