Should I Feed More?

Ok. So I've been feeding my little corn two "small" pinkies every five days since i got him(about a month and a half ago). But he afterward he usually looks like he would eat another.. Actually, i have very little doubt that he would eat another if he could. He'll look around for a little bit before he goes to hide. And if i put my hand in there to arrange something or change his water before i close his tank up, he'll come over to my hand to see if i have another mouse(and, believe me, this is the only time he'll come to my hand. he's still a little afraid of the giant hand, usually.)

I don't know if this means that i should start feeding him three(i want to use up the pinkies i already have before i buy another size), or if they always act like that even if they've already had all they should(i don't want to cause him to regurge or anything. because three seems like a lot for him).
 
I would say that he is ready for fuzzies based on how long you have been on two pinkies. But since you want to use up all your pinkies I would continue feeding the amount he is used to. Three may be too much, many people say 2 pinkies= one fuzzy. However I wouldn't stay on pinkies too long just to use them up, because fuzzies are better for the snake.

ypu don´t say how much qour snkae weights but if its an 06nz i think he´s ready 4 fuzzies as well!
I feed my 06 corns every 3-5 days a fuzzy and they grow very well and dont get too fat!
 
If you feel he is ready for fuzzies, you could try 1 fuzzy (be sure to put cuts into it if is dead - easier and faster to digest). Then after several feedings of one of the smallest fuzzies, if he still wants more, you could start feeding 1 fuzzy and 1 small pinky until the pinks are gone.
