I'd say where there up and about cruising in one or two days after feeding. If you can give 3 of the same size, more up one size and give one. Untill there cruising again in one or 2 days then you move up to 2 ect.

Make sure not to feed anything bigger then 1.5 the size of the widest part of the body and move away from pinkies as soon as the snake can handle it because there's little nutricioun in a pinkie.

well she is as thick as a pencil so she will probably be eating pinkies for a while. How fast should she grow on an average feeding schedule?
