Is my black kingsnake's weight and lenght ideal for age?

My black kingsnake, sex unknown, is close to 2 years old and is 29 inches long, and 151g in weight. Does this sound okay? Thank you. Justin

That is on the smaller side of normal.

Right now it eats two fuzzies once a week, should I increase to more fuzzies, bigger prey? THank you.

If it's about 30" I'm sure it can handle hoppers. I'd try a bit bigger food item and also continue to feed twice a week if it is willing.
