When the pinkie doesn't touch the sides

You'll know, because the food is supposed to leave a small bump, if it doesn't or the snake wolfs it down too easily- then it's time to move up.

try offering a second pinky to your snake, increasing to 2-3 pinkies per feed before moving up to a fuzzy/fluffy as a few smaller items are easier to digest than one larger prey item.

I guess if the snake it big enough for the fluff to be no more then 1.5x the width of the snake it would be fine also.

Kaz is right, the food should leave a visible bulge.
