They get pretty big - at Turtle Bay in Redding they have a pair that are from captive breeding and always have been well fed - and they are huge. Never seen a wild Cal. Alligators get as big as they are.

According to Stebbins, they get up to 7 inches snout to vent.
Tail is usually not recorded because they can break off, but a lizard that has never lost its tail - the tail will be even longer than the snout to vent measurement.
