I had my first litter of KSB's back in July of last year. As of today, the females from the litter are all over 150 grams and eating large F/T mice. I took them to a show today to have them sexed by a friend and everyone that saw them thought I was crazy when they heard that they were born at the end of July, 2009, because they were so large already. I weighed the two largest last week and they were 155 grams a piece. Even the males are pretty big, maybe 125 grams or so each. Is this normal or or these KSB's growing much faster than most others would? I saw a few 2008 babies at the show that were dwarfs compared to mine, so I was pleasantly surprised. Now that I look around, seems most 09's offered for sale are still eating pinkies or something small like that.

I keep them in small tubs in a rack set at maybe 85 degrees where the probe is, and feed once a week with F/T. None of them ever miss a meal.
