Normal Snake?

My snake is around 5-6 months old, weighs 28g and is 18 inches long. As she is my first snake, I was just wondering if her weight and length sounds normal? She is currently on 2 pinkies every 5-6 days but I am thinking about bumping her up to fuzzies.
What are your opinions guys?

Thanks :)
 
Snakes grow at all different rates.
There really isn't a normal size.

Yours sounds like it is fine.

The food item should be 1.5 times the largest part of your snake. If it is downing pinkies with barely stretching its jaw, I would bump it up. Fuzzies have more nutritional content (calcium especially) than pinkies.

Thanks for your help :) Next feed, I'll see how much her jaw stretches eating the pinky, and how big it is in comparison to her body
 
FWIW...two of our snakes are about that size range and they're easily taking small fuzzies (I moved them to fuzzies at about 24g...they were only on double pinks for a couple weeks)
 
Crazy mine is about the same age as yours and it's at 85g it's taking out 3 peach fuzzies. When you order online by the hundreds I guess you buy half atthe correct size and half a bit bigger lol. But your snake seems fine
