Keep in mind that with snakes, there are three basic factors that determine how fast they grow. The first is nutrition. The better you feed them, the faster they grow. Second is age. As they get older their rate of growth naturally slows. Finally, there is their genetic potential. The larger snakes will maintain a high growth rate longer. It sounds like you are feeding your snake well.
Duffy gave you a great answer to your last question. The only thing that I can ad is that Black Rats are on average a little longer. Blacks, Yellows, Texas, Grays and Everglades Rats are all subspecies of P. obsoleta. If you do a scale count on them, they are all the same.
