At 14 inches one is enough but if he will take 2 than go with 2 but he will be fine with one.
IMO fuzzies have more nourishment thus if you get your corn to take 2 pinkies its just that much faster you get him on fuzzy than hopper.
I find they grow slow with pinkies and once they start taking fuzzies they start growing that much faster.
My snakes grew real SLOW on 2 pinkies than when went with 1 fuzzy there came the growth . Nothing radical lol but you notice the difference.
I would say it depends on the type of snake. If it's an aboreal snake such as a tree boa, chicks and birds could make up more of the diet, since it's what they eat frequently in the wild. If it's a corn or a ground dwelling species, rodents should be fed most of the time.
That said, some snakes won't touch chicks after becoming adjusted to rats. I have 8 left in my freezer, since my Rainbow Boa ignored the last 2.
