What size pinkies to get?

I just got my baby corn snake two days ago, and I plan to feed her in a couple of days. But I need to get pinkies, so I found this site but now I'm wondering what size pinkie to get. I havent weighed my snake yet so I'm not sure about that, but she's young. I was thinking of getting the 'extra small' because I just got her and all, but then I was thinking, 'if one bag is 100 of these things, they'll be around for a while, my snake will grow and then they may be too small'. So I was thinking I could just go with the regular 'small'. But I'm not sure. Should I just get the extra small and feed her two when she gets bigger?

Here's the site I found.

I'd get regular small. There will be a range of sizes in the bag. Start feeding the smallest, and gradually increase. As you near the largest size, you can start feeding doubles, again starting with the smallest. If for the first few meals even the smallest seem too small, just cut them in half while frozen and feed one half.
 
Thank you ;) I'll do that.
She's so cute I think I'm in love lol. I'll post pics of her soon, but the lighting isn't too great. She came on a rainy day and I hate using flash.
 
Well, if you just got her two days ago, you really should not be handling her, anyway. Let her settle in for a week, feed her, give her two or three days to digest, then do a photo shoot! The most important thing is to not stress her out as she adjusts to her new home, so you have the very best chance of a successful first feeding.
 
Oh, I took the pictures when I first got her. No flash because I figured it would stress her. Otherwise she's been resting in her viv. the first night she was in a large carrier because the heat pad arrived later than hoped, so I had to set it up and make sure the thermostat would work to keep the heated side at 84-86 F. Which it did. So I only picked her up to put her in there. And she's been in her hide sticking her head out when she's awake ever since lol.

I'm not going to handle her today or tomorrow. Then I'll try for a feeding on Saturday, let her digest for 48 hours or so and then maybe I'll be able to get better pictures than the couple I have now.

Thank you again, I'm so gratefull for this site and the people on it. I'd freak without it lol.
