It all depends on care before you recieved it. A good bet would say less then a year just because of the turn around they have on leopards.

Probably a month or less, but size is not always a good indicator of age. Individual geckos will hit their growth spurts at different times, not to mention the effect husbandry and feeding will have on them.

Nobody accused you of being retard but I can if you would like. Husbandry has a lot to do with growth. You want to pinpoint in an estimate 2 months give or take. You want a more exact than that June 16th 2010.

A petstore by me has had the same two scrawny geckos for several months now, and they look to be under 20 grams. Mine can hit 9-10 in a month pretty easy.
