Well there's the problem, your arguing with yourself... You say no when you mean yes... Now me it's always a yes and my wife puts the brake on... I just have to catch her asleep at the wheel... hehe

LOL. I'm already on my way. Planning to get another 2 when the local Repticon comes. Probably going to get a king snake and another corn snake morph.

Re: First snake. Need Advice.
My Milk Snake is around that size and it gets only one pinkie. Am I underfeeding it? She is not thin at all though, just wondering.

Re: First snake. Need Advice.
Will fuzzies be to big? The pinkies are slightly wider than her head. Or maybe can I do 2 pinkies?

Don't measure the food by the size of the snakes head. You can feed a prey item up to 1.5x the girth of the snake's body. I try to get my snakes off of pinkies asap and on to more mature prey items. I don't think my young snakes had more than 6 pinky meals before I bumped up their prey size.

Re: First snake. Need Advice.
Agree with whats been said and I would get her onto fuzzies when her next feed is due. If you could see my little sunglow boa you wouldn't think she could eat a fuzzy but she does
