Pleurodeles waltl size?

I have a female P.Waltl and she is seven years old and is 30 cm's in length..My two males are about 22 cm's and another female 25 cm's..I think the overall size of a P.Waltl has to do with how much food is provided,what kind of food,diversity of theyre diet,the conditions of theyre housing etc. etc.
As larvae they are very good eaters and not difficult to raise just as long if you feed them well and clean theyre setup regularly because theyre messy eaters..
And the link that shows us someone holding a large P.waltl posted by Billy James..We can't see if its a adult holding this P.Waltl this could be a child holding this specimen..But it is defenitely a large specimen shown on that picture..
 
My largest individuals are around 20cm in length. I can't imagine a 30 cm specimen! Do P. waltl grow throughout their lives?

Here's a video of my P. waltl. The fat ones are the females obviously. The tank is four foot to give an idea of length. They were around 25cm last time I measured but that was along time ago and apparently they continue to grow till they are 3 years old... Don't know if that's true?
