They can grow quickly or slowly depending what you provide in terms of nutrition and environment. If you feed it at a normal rate considering they spend most of their time grazing and foraging it will usually grow at a rate of doubling in size for the first 5 to 7 years and then slow after that. Now this rate can increase or decrease depending on the quality of food. The important point I push is heat and hydration. Sulcatas like it hot and that dehydrates them quickly so you need to watch hydration carefully.
