I'd say Matts right. I had a 4 year old snapper I cared for a while back and he was only about 8 or 9 " CL.
BE PREPARED. I don't know if you've ever had an Al snapper before but they get big. And a full grown one could inflict an awfullly painful bite. Hope you know what your getting into.

Yeah..They don't really need too much room which is kind of nice..I have a 13" male in a 65 gallon and he seems fine..He barely moves around at all..Makes one hell of a mess though.
