I haven't been travelling to many wild stands of Sarraceniae,
but I have seen many in outdoor cultivation. Very few clones
I've seen really grow three feet tall or more. Very few.

There's a leucophylla 'titan', and a 'copper top' flava that
reach this height. Most of the leucophyllas and flavas I've
seen are shorter. Do they stay under 2 feet? Some do. It's
a shame that you're confined to such a small terrarium. The
taller Sarraceniae look so beautiful when they're left to
grow unimpeded.
