What weight should my corn be before i try her with pinkies?

I saw a guide somewhere on here but cant find it.

She is wolfing down 2 x pinkies and still looking for food afterwards so i think she would handle one.

Thanks

if the pinkies arent leaving much of a bulge then you could try her with a small fuzzy if you do then you could alternate between a small fuzzy and 2 pinkies for a few feeds so that she gets used to a larger meal
think this is the guide you are looking for

When they're on single pinks (2-3g), I feed every 5-6 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 6-7 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (20-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+)

Love this table, really useful reference. How about larger adults?
