Re: feeding questions...
How big of baby are we talking about? Rule of thumb is it should make a good lump in the belly.

Re: feeding questions...
There is no harm in feeding him 2 pinks at a time. Kings have such little heads. I've always fed mine several small prey items until they were adults.

Re: feeding questions...
Kingsnakes are pigs! Feed him plenty and handle him often to keep him tame! (but not at the same time of course)
