| I would say you're feeding your king about the right amount. Some kings will look around for more food and eat it if it is offered whether they actually need it or not. For the age of your snake 2 pinkies is fine |

0.1.0 Blotched king ( Jasmin)

i'd say you were feeding about right.......
but as a guide to food item size, the item should be no wider than 1.5 times the width of the snake at it's widest/thickest point |
cornsnakes, ratsnakes, Dumerils boas, BCO hybrids, Sinder Hypo boas, Day Geckos
