Can you please post a picture of him near an object of recognizable size? Also, how much does he weigh?

There is a post somewhere on the forum with guidelines. Can't find it to give you a link, but I've kept the information and here it is:

1 Pinkie (2-3g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 4-15g)
2 Pinkies (3-4g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 16-23g)
Small Fuzzy (5-7g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 24-30g)
Fuzzy (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
Fluff/Hoppers (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
Small Adult/Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
Adult (20-30g) every 7-10 days (Snake = 170+)

At a year old and 2 foot, I should think your snake should be on fuzzies or small mice, certainly not pinkies! When you say the fuzzies were way too big, how do you mean?

Some pics would help too. x
