Sorry for all these questions.
When dakota is ready to move up to 2 pinkies per feed should there be time in between giving them or can I feed the 2 at the same time?  |

Sunday and wednesday feeding is a bit close together. You could just give one pinky every 5 days. If that pinky isn't leaving much of a bump then you could go for 2 pinkies every 7 days. |

Don't apologise for asking questions,its the best way to learn. 
With mine I did as gingerpony said. I just waited for the first food item to get down to about halfway and then offered another. |

you can either wait for her to finish the 1st one or follow on (place the head of the 2nd food item in the snake's mouth as it's just swallowing the 1st one)
i'd recommend the first option in this instance but the 2nd method is useful in the right circumstances eg. when moving a snake from mice onto rats, offer a mouse first then follow on with a rat |
