I just got a delhezi polyterus at about 1 and a half inches and was wonderin how fast do they grow and how long can I have it in a 10 gallon growout until moved to like a 50 then a 125? Also how big should I expect it to be? (according to some googling it is around 2 feet is that right?

11-13" fully grown. Thats in about 2 years. It'll outgrow the 10g after a month or two.
I don't know about 2 years, but everything else seems good. I would say 11"-13" sounds good, but don't be surprised with 9"-10" at the least.

They take some time to get used to their surroundings. Once he gets used to everything you'll see him eating. Get some nightcrawlers or some red worms cut them up real small and dangle them in front of his face. Mine tear it up.
