I've also observed this, on a small scale.
I bought a pair of Butter Mots aged two months. They had been power-fed by their breeder and were about three times the size that I'd normally expect at that age. They were adult-sized - large adult-sized - within 18 months, despite being on my standard feeding regime which would normally see Corns reach 300g at around two and a half years.
I also have an Amel stripe, who took months to start eating as a hatchling, and was then kept on a maintenance diet for a year until I bought her. Aged three, she's still under 300g and only capable of taking medium mice. I'm not sure if I ever expect her to be much bigger than she is.
