This site says that reptiles grow rapidly when they are young and grow more slowly when they are older, but that reptiles continue to grow throughout their lives.

"The significant difference between growth in reptiles and that in mammals is that a reptile has the potential of growing throughout its life, whereas a mammal reaches a terminal size and grows no more, even though it may subsequently live many years in ideal conditions."
