Secondly, I would definitely go with a little bit smaller of a meal, and then work your way up back to the way you were feeding the snake. I would say 1 pinkie at a time right now, and then in 2 or 3 feedings, bump it up to double pinks again. After not eating for a month, you don't want to stress out it's digestive system by introducing too much prey. Just think of it like a regurge - start slow, and work your way up.
Not a bad choice.

Or, you could just figure the snake has gone a month, much as it may well have in the wild, and is now ready to eat two or three, I'd stick with two if it's only 12", pinks at a time.

There was no loss of digestive enzymes, no real stress, just a month without food in the fall. No biggie for an other wise healthy snake.

I wouldn't feed more than two every five days though, even weekly would be ok.

But, like I said and as was posted above, one a week is also fine.
