Well, it might be possible to feed it with the others at the next feeding scedule, but it really depends on the size of the pinkie, temps., and if things look like their being digested,and defecated out properly. I would still rather be on the safe side with very small meals for just a bit longer, and VERY gradually up the size after another couple weeks. There's no real "formula" for this, just some good judgement necessary on your part.



This also reminds me,....since the snake is very small, if I didn't already suggest it earlier, it might be a good idea for you to use paper towels as a substrate for a while, so you can easily see the poop, and/or possible regurges.



Good luck!, ~Doug
