Some are given away before they eat their first meal, so thats completely fine. Although, I have never seen an overweight ball. I thought that was more RTB thing if anything?
I really wouldn't worry if your snake is overweight especially at that age. I currently have a 4000gram female and I don't think she's overweight, big yes. Some grow faster then others too so don't go off of what other peoples look like. Sounds like yours has a good appetite so I'm sure they will be up to breeding weight in no time. Once its an adult one small rat a week, and no worries of your snake being overweight.

Well, the standard for selling a hatchling is at least 3 meals, which puts the age usually just over a month or so.
