They can grow to 4 ft in 1 year if given the chance. But that all depends on your husbandry and how good of a waiter you are. Reptiles are very dependant upon their enviroment.

As for free roaming that depends on the monitor, you certainly dont want to let a baby free roam or one that is scared or grumpy. It would be something you'd have to do on your own discretion. My adults are very used to me and tolerant however they are large and if I let them roam the house they tend to break stuff.
