Adult AA size question

While I know any reptile or bird, reptile etc. will be what ever they will be and I am not a fan of "biggest is best", I am curious about AA's and their growth potential.
Mine is a August 2011 hatch. I assume that the first bunch of AA's is approaching adulthood. The question is, how large should I expect him, ( I hope), to get considering the out crosses including Extreme's?

HPIZZLE. Yes, I am :) . They have been in hibernation for a while now. The last two times they went into hibernation they hibernated for 7 months :( . I hope I don't have to wait that long again. But other then that they are doing well. As soon as they wake up I'm going to post some photos ;) .

As they are a hybrid, it all depends on unpredictable gene recombination.......but they are 50% giant! i think there is going to be a ton of variability between some hybrids and others.

I have noticed that their coloration seems to vary quite a bit between those I have seen pictures of. The one you sold me, "Junior", has very black skin with perfect white spots and biege bands from just behind his head going down about a third of his body. That is the random recombinate DNA & genes doing their thing.

Great looking Tegu!!! (Nice tile floor too.) It is interesting how different all the AA's look. I think yours has a Blue look to him. Of course I have only seen pictures of one and none in person.
