Well, based on the current growth rate on mine, I'm thinking it's going to be a couple of years before he breaks 2'. He's still growing, but it seems like he's putting on more mass than length.

Cool, thanks, so probably 3 or 4 years till it gets 30", then?

That's what I've planned for anyway. I'll measure him again at the end of the month and try to see what his growth rate has been sisnce his spurt started.
