(You know it might be easier to have a special section just for feeding questions..LOL)
Ok, my question. Kiora has had 2 feeds with me. A pinkie each time, 5 days apart. He managed them easily and they didnt leave much of a lump that you could see. I think he probably needs more food but am not sure what to move him up to.
2 pinkies or next size up??, also stick to 5 days or go to 7??
First snakes are very stressful little things to have..

as a guide to a maximum, the food item should be no more than 1.5 times the width of the snake at it's widest point
sounds like either double pinkies or try a fuzzy, initially i'd increase the number of days between feeds from 5 to 7 and then work back down to every 5 days
