Hello

A good way to tell if he can eat it or not is about 1 1/2 times its body diamiter.

You do not want to feed you snake something that is way bigger then the diameter of the snake. If a large pinkie leaves a large bulge in the snake, then u have a while to wait. But if the large pinkie isnt noticeable, or is only a little bit then you can start on small fuzzies and work your way up. i find it better to feed the snake more of one thing then move up to a bigger size before it is ready, otherwise "huston, we have a problem,"
