I would say the slower grow/feeding schedule worked. As I have actually heard of other snake keepers doing that as well.
I have also seen videos and other research - where they would take two siblings(same gender) from the same clutch/litter. One of the siblings would feed larger meals, at about every 7-10 days. While the other sibling was feed more modest sized meals, on a more modest feeding schedule.
The results - basically the sibling which was more heavily feed - end up becoming sexually mature about 18-24 months earlier - and being about 25-50% larger at the same age. But generally the smaller sibling would be the healthier of the two - as the larger sibling was also a bit fat/overweight.
