Who knows? Depends on food, exercize, heat, stress... Could be a tiny healthy girl at 3.5 feet, or a giant at 6 feet.
You will have that monitor a looooong time if all goes well. Mine has his OWN BEDROOM, that could be rented for for good money! Not to mention hauling buckets and buckets and BUCKETS of water to empty and fill a horse trough with water nearly daily for him. I would have liked a small one too, but you get what you get. My boy Scooter is 11 years old, 24 lbs, and 5.5 feet long. He is alert and very comfortable with me after all this time we have been together. I do think he is pretty bored though, he is too big even for a bedroom at this size.
Goodluck!
