The refreshing voice of reason from the newbie OP. Well said and I enjoyed you post. Thanks.
I think your plan is well thought out for you and shows caution and your care for your snake. I might suggest the first feeding try 2 pinks. Then the next try 3 and the next try 4. This is a good cautious approach since your young snake is not yet used to larger meals. This method serves two purposes;
1 it slowly prepares your snake for the larger meals it should be eating for excellent growth while giving you the experience to learn and grow your knowledge base on how you want to care for your snake.
2 by the time you run out of pinkies you will have a better idea of how many fuzzies you should offer. For example if your king won't eat more than 4 pinkies then 2 fuzzies would be adequate. If it eats 5 or more you might want to offer 3 fuzzies.
Best of luck and I look forward to seeing some pics.
