i measured the length of Medusas skin that she shed recently and i'd say she is around 16" now... i was wondering if 1 pinkie every 5-7 days was enough or should she be on 2? not sure if shes ready for a fuzzy as i have never seen the size of them... maybe i should pick one up and compare the size to her width.

Have you tried offering her a second after the first?

Take 10% off the length of the skin to give you the snakes length. This is beacuse it streches when they pull it off.

if i was you i would move her up to 2 pinkies at first.

a rule i use is that you should really be seeing a lump in her belly if you get wot i mean.

or

place your fingers next to her widest part, which ever is closest use that as a guide wen going to the shop. you should be looking at 1 1/2 the size of her widest part.
i offer more than one of equal size, wen he is still really active and searhing for more.
