About feeding...

Hey everyone, whats up? Last week I fed my snake 1 pinkie and after it ate it(in like less than 30 seconds), it seemed that it wanted more. Now, I figured since last week was the first time I fed the snake, I'd just give it 1 pinkie, see if everything goes smooth(which it did) and then the next time I feed it, I'll try 2 pinks. Anyways, I fed my snake 2 pinkies yesterday and it took a good 4-5 minutes but it polished them off quick enough. I think that it was satisfied this time, so here are my questions:

1) Does anyone think I fed him 2 pinkies too quickly?
2) When can I/should I start feeding him fuzzies?

My snake is about 13-14 inches, just in case anyone is wondering.
 
if your snake is as wide as a fuzzy then go for it. You can feed your snake anything bigger then the widest part of its body by 1 to 1 1/2 inches around. Your snakes skin will strech very wide. You could read up on it by getting "The Corn Snake Manuel" by Kathy Love.
 
Thanks newt. By the way, I have the cornsnake manual. I just wanted to get more peoples oppinions, rather than just 1(from the book).
 
Well, I have 6 three month old corns, about the length of yours, and all 6 of them are eating fuzzies.
 
In my experience a snake that eats 2 pinkies can usually handle fuzzies. :)
