It varies greatly with food,heat,exercise,genetics etc.I've had monitors under the exact same conditions grow from 1 inch a month,to 1 inch a week.My female Sav grew at least 2" a month and was 33" at about 14 months old.I would feed it everyday and almost as much as it wants to eat.Make sure the temps are right also):
