hes looking good 
snakes are like kids in that they all grow at different rates.
when you feed him does the pinkie leave a bump in his stomach? if not maybe try two pinkies for a few feeds and see how he does, eventually you can then move onto fuzzies and small mice in the same way |

I'd say he looks plenty big enough to up the food size now. 2 of my corns are actually slightly smaller than yours and I have just finished feeding them their first fuzzies. They managed no problem and have both got a healthy looking belly bump now.
They were small fuzzies though, each weighing 4g, which is about the same as 2 pinkies. Pandora my other corn weighs 40 odd grams and is taking larger 6g fuzzies, but even those are not showing much now so may be upping her meals shortly... |
