Aslong as the mouse leaves a lump in his belly and he is gaining weight then i would say he is ok, but if i where you i would go out and get some digital scales. Then you can weigh him before every feed. |

Do the pinkies leave much of a bump in his belly? There are different sized pinkies and fuzzies so even if the smallest fuzzies are too big there could be smaller pinkies which he could take. |

As I've said in the past, the weight of the food item doesn't make much odds to be honest. It's the size of the prey in realtion to the snake.
If you're unsure, then look for food item that's a fraction thicker than your snake, that way it should be able to eat it. |

do you know how much the pinkies weigh? I would have thought that this weren't enough given his length. How big are the pinkies you give him when compared to the largest part of his body? |

When you say he is on pinkies how many do you give him and what size? also how much does your snake weigh? Different snakes grow at different weights so it is not necesarily a bad things but more info would help. |

there is probably just some residual moisture in the bedding, it will go away soon. |
