I feed my snakes well when they are at the peak of their growth, until they are about 2yrs old.
I don't see any hard evidence that says this is a bad thing, they are young and growing, i personally think many people underfeed their snakes because of the whole power feeding thing.
I think a snake that seems large, strong and heathly for it's age is a good thing and as long as you adjust their feeding once their grow rate slows down then you'll have no problems.

It's no different to a hatchling getting a good start in the wild, if they are capable of growing that fast then theres a reason for it.
