Looking for insight.....

We have had our little girl Klepto for roughly 2 months she is a Tesserra about 18-20'' in length and roughly 24-25grams, I have been reading about the Munson feeding plan and as it suggested we upped her to two pinkies every 7 days. As when before when we were only feeding one pinky we hardly saw a noticeable bump, and even though we have increased to two pinkies we still are not seeing a noticeable bump. But yet I do not believe she is the right size for fuzzies just yet, she's not very thick. We fed her last week 2 pinkies and she hadn't passed . But as to what I have read sometimes this happens, so we offered her two pinkies again this Saturday, both of which she ate voraciously. And though it has only been 3 days she still has not passed. I am a bit concerned... there are no visible bumps, lumps, or swelling. Her tank is a standard 10g with hot side temps at 80-83F cool side ranging from 70-75F, humidity stays right at 50-60%. She has a hide on each side, along with her water dish. Though she is rarely in either hide, she is a very active snake. I am wondering if there is anything I need to change or anything I need to do in order to help her. I have been advised that this is normal behavior and to continue to feed as scheduled. (From a reputable corn snake breeder for 20+years) I am just concerned and looking for any insight as to how I can better our snakes life.

Any productive input is appreciated!
