KSB's don't generally need soaked. If he's not shedding in one piece, then a moist hide box is a good idea. As for feeding, my KSB's are graduated from pinkies by the time they are just a few months old. At 15", I would expect a KSB to be able to eat at least a good sized hopper, if not a small adult mouse. I feed my young ones every 5-7 days and my older ones once a week. The adults (especially the males) won't eat the offered mice as often as the females and younger ones, but I still offer it.

Good Luck,
Carraig
