Both your's and Gio's SDs are growing a lot faster than I've seen to be expected of SDs, their growth is closely matching a "standard" mainland retic's growth when not power fed. They're far outstripping River's growth already, and she's now 8' at 2.5 years old. I'll have to see where she tops out at (around 5-6 years of age), but I'm thinking you guys may have bigger snakes than you planned on your hands if they're already growing faster than my (assumed) mainland.
Great comments from all. My retic buddy who is as knowledgable as anybody on Retic Nation and has kept and bred everything from mainland retics to king cobras and about everything in between said our SD X Dwarf retics will grow rapidly for the first 2 years and may easily hit 7 feet. Then they will slow DRAMATICALLY after that. He thinks it will be a stretch if Wallace gets close to 10'. At 5' Wallace fits in the palm of my hand.

Caesar may be a tad larger and may end up bigger especially if pushed with food, but Sauzo is sensible and isn't looking for a giant.

River is awesome and looks a lot thicker and much more mature. We are all doing great with these guys.
