Is feeding a baby one foot long calking, two pinkies per week too much?

I guess if the snake will eat the meals, doesn't regurge and has the proper temps to digest the meals then it should be OK. Funny you should post that query because I did that very exact same thing today w/ a very small (similar size as you mentioned) desert phase Cal I've got. The snake ate the second pinkie fine.

When you guys feed a king, say twice a week, do you guys only feed one pinkie per time equaling to 2 pinkies total in a week, or do you guys feed like 2-3 pinkies per time equaling to 4-6 in a week?

Two at a time, once a week, bump up to fuzzy size once a week, then two a week. I feed once a week, others may feed more than once a week.
