feeding schedule

hey there. new to the board, and a new owner of an okeetee and a creamsicle. going through the previous posts, but haven't gotten them all yet, sorry if this is a repost.
my snakes are ~14" long, and currently eatting 2 pinkies twice a week.
they are definately hungry enough to eat more than that, becuase when i feed one it always heads across the table to the pinkies i'm thawing for the other. am i feeding them too often / too much or too little? i'd like them to grow quickly, but don't want to risk anything long term.
after feeding them 1 sunday and 2 monday, it took until about thursday before i couldn't see the bulge anymore (this week was a test to see if they would keep eatting). stopped after 3, didn't wanna push it. the cream was in the midst of shedding. sorry for the long post. thanks for any info!!
 
right now i'm feeding 2 pinkies twice a week, that's 4 per week. i'm just wondering if anyone has any 'recently fed' snake pics. so i can see just how big of a bulge there should be. 1 pinkie, after about 5 min, i can't tell where it is in the snake. after it ate 3 i could tell where the pinkies were in the body for a few days.
 
yea, i read something about the prey should not exceed 1-1.5x the widest part of the body .... Might have been Kathy Love's book.
 
go to fuzzies

u can try 1 fuzzie every 5 days initially. I read somewhere, maybe here that 1 fuzzie has more nutrition than 2 pinks. for quicker digestion u can make 2-3 cuts along the back of the dead fuzzie
 
Sky, wow, is it really that "blue" in person?

All depends on the lighting. He starts of beigish at the head and gets silverish pretty quickly to his tail. Because of all his silver he shows up like that quite a bit in pics without light. This is the truest color pic I have I think...
