Oh another observation. You mentioned you purchased the cal king at a reptile expo. Well the fact the snake was sold to you with mites does not speak well of the sleer. Sounds like the vendor was probably a broker of reptiles. Unfortunatly more and more reptile shows are being filled with brokers such as these and they don't know what the real history is of the animals.

Mites also eaken a asnake and it is obviuos why. they draw blood.

So to answer your question more direct. offer your snake mice every 3-4 days and make sure he/she eats to her fill. If pinkies is all you have right now... then feed as many as she will eat and not just 4 or 5 pinkies. But really feed her until she is full. Then get some larger mice and offer food whenever the lump subsides in her midsection. Try larger items. it will not hurt the snake if a mouse if to big....let me repeat this part.............. if a mouse is TO BIG it will simply stop trying to get it down. So you learned something. You learned what was to big a food ietm! Now if the snake does get it down, you learned something else (And that is suually what happens).. and that is they CAN eat a lot bigger food item than you think.
