Aries has been feeding on one fuzzy every 5-6 days for about a month or so. When she now eats there is barely a post feeding "bump" visible. Should I perhaps consider giving her 2 fuzzies or maybe moving her up a size? She is as long as my 20 Gallon tank is long, but don't have a weight on her. Any advice? Thanks. Have a great day ya'll.

if there is barely a bump you can move it up to the next size, but nothing more than 1.5 x the snakes girth at its widest.

Okay so rather try the next size than feed it double the portion?
Can you overfeed it by giving it two?

Yes you can give her two fuzzies if you like. If she takes them and you have no problems with a regurge then go up a size. It sounds as if she's ready for a bigger meal.
