It wouldnt take a year in fact you cat really estimate how long it would take because there are alot of factors that go in it, for example a wd thats 12" stl thats kept in a custom cage thats 500 Gallons would grow much faster than a 12" stl wd kept in a 20 gallon. plus feeding and calcium and UVB will also determine the growth, so you cant just say 1 year for full length. Because i imagine even in the wild were there is no space restriction it takes longer than a year because usually wd's arent sexually mature until 2 years. So i doubt there would be 36" water dragons walking around in the wild who havent hit puberty.
