It would appear that reptiles in general will grow in proportion to the resources and environmental conditions available. If there is a large amount of food available and the environmental conditions support the process of that food the animal will grow rapidly. Is that bad? I don't think so. If you notice you will see there are giant and dwarf examples of particular species that seem to be determined by food availability. The important thing is to feed the proper foods. Little to no animal protein and absolutely no animal fat. Remember, leopards are grazers. I really don't think you can overfeed them if you are feeding them what they normally eat.
As far as the chicken bones and shells go, these are probably natural sources of calcium but you are taking the risk of internal damage if something should go wrong.
