Fed and housed correctly they should reach around 10 inches within the first 12 months and then slow down there after.

No not really, they should grow to that size within that time frame if housed and fed adequately, they usually slow down from 10-11 inches to a rough 1 inch per 12 months. Potentially reaching a huge 24 inch but most don't get past 16 - 18 inches.
