TBH at 8 weeks one pinkie every 5 days is enough.

It really depends on how big your snake is. If one pinkie is no longer leaving a bump after a feed then it is time to try two, but two months is quite young to be that sort of size.

Assuming this is the little lady I sold you, all her siblings are still on one average sized pinkie every 5 days, a few on large pinkies I don't bother giving any of mine two of something unless I run out of what I usually give them, for example if I usually give one a fuzzy and I don't have any, it'll have two pinkies.
