How much to feed her?

I'm going to start my corn on fuzzies next week, and had a question. This is my first corn, so I apologize if I am asking stupid questions. My girl is about a foot and a half long, about as wide as a pinky at her largest part (that's the best I can compare her to), and is quite a good eater. I have been feeding her 3 pinkies each week for a while now, and finally finished off my pinkies. She seems ready for fuzzies, but I wanted to know how much to feed her. Do snakes her size usually eat one or two fuzzies? Should I just try giving her one, then seeing how she responds to another? Should I worry about feeding her too much and her vomiting? Any feedback would be helpful.

I apologize for the lack of pictures; I just fed her a few hours ago, so I don't want to startle / harm her by handling her for a picture. If pictures are actually needed, I can try to upload some by Friday night or Saturday morning.

Thanks!
 
Three pinkies a week? How do you space that out?

Sounds like she should be on two pinkies every 5-6 days.

Someone will probably ask for pictures of her with something to gauge her size, say a pencil or pen.
 
Just try feeding her one small fuzzy.
And actually, if she is 'about as wide as a pinkie,' why not try moving her up to peach fuzzies or large pinks?
 
Peach fuzzies can be difficult for some people to find...

I can't seem to find them in my area...
I'd order online, but my family just about tolerate the snake, keeping frozen mice might be pushing it, slightly, lol.
