I have a normal female that I got for free, she was just a little bigger than a hatchling at 1.5 years old. They were only feeding her one hopper mouse every other week. When I got her home she immediately ate three adult mice back to back! She grew like a rocket and went up to 1500 grams in under a year, she is fasting now but it looks like she caught up to her proper weight for that age. I assume now that she is up to size that her growth won't be stunted one bit.
