How frequently should I feed her?

My corn is two years old now and about 2 1/2 feet long and weighs 85g. I feed her pinkies, but she's very capable of fuzzies. Just trying to use them all up! So how often should I feed her? She'll eat about 3-4 pinks at a time.
 
I'd offer her bigger food. But if you're using up the last of the pinks, I'd probably feed every 7 days because I think she is a little on the smaller weight side for a 2008. Adults can be fed more like every 10-14 days if they are eating bigger meals.
 
To use up the food could you go with a Fuzzy and a pink? If the snake is "very capable" of a fuzzy then they may handle one of each. Or I could be completely wrong and that is too much food.
 
I don't think so. Fuzzies aren't that big, so fuzzy + pink might be a good meal for a snake of the weight describes, especially if we are talking about the smaller fuzzies rather than the almost-a-hopper ones.
 
Your just about starving the snake. There's next to no food value in pinkies, especially for a thirty inch snake. If you absolutely have to feed pinkies, then give it all it will eat every two or three days. The snake is not getting enough calcium (mouse skeleton), and should get some calcium supplement maybe every other feeding. Any snake that size should be eating hoppers or small adult mice as soon as possible.
