My corn, Dimika, is 19.5 inches long and weighs 12.5g. He is about 15mm wide (diameter) and 60mm circumference. Is he a bit small? I am posting his age in a second, just working it out from his feed record.
---
He's 3 and a half months. Should I be feeding him one pinky or two, or two every other ordinary feed? Thanks.

I fed two pinkies last night :) He took them both happily, although he grabbed one by the stomach and had to shimmy round to eat it xD.

see how he goes with 2.. to be honest there is no set age for moving them up when feeding..it all depends on your snake..
if there is only a small/unobvious bump when he has had one pinkie then try him on two..
snakes will naturally eat more than they need to if given the chance so just make sure that the bump left is relative to his size
