I was told my snake was 1 year old, but Im not so sure he is 24inches long and weighs about 50grams, I am feeding him two pinkies every 7 days, does this seem right for the age and am I feeding him enough

not sure on the age as they all grow at different rates, saying that if its been on pinkies thus far it`ll probably be about right, see if it`ll take a fuzz. i started liquid on them at the same weight and he is about 9 months old and now on smalls

if hes a year old he should be on something bigger than pinkies to be honest..
my mont is 4months old and I'm just starting to alternate between 2 pinkies one feed and 1 fuzzy the next and hes around 24g now.. id get him onto fuzzies and see how he does

I would start him on fuzzies at 50g and 24inches he is big enough. From his size and weight 1 year sounds about right but as Solid said they grow at different rates.

I hate asking stupid questions but here goes, is a fuzzy a small mouse, and a large fuzzy a large mouse and how big is a small mouse?

A fuzzy is the smallest mouse with hair (it is just getting hair, hence the name fuzzy), one step up from a pinky but smaller than what would be classed as a small mouse in most pet shops.
