i originally heard they stayed small 18-24 inches. lately i have seen several of them around 36 inches. the one i own is my first one so from first hand experience i am unsure, but he is growing pretty fast.

from what richard and solomon told me and from my experience, as well as reading about others, their growth seems to plateau at 18"-20" range. but they are still capable of growing after that, though slowly. i think richard mentioned before that their average adult size in captivity is around 2.5 foot.
