My male has one eye that is normal and one that is eclipse. So how much eclipse does he have?

Your male is a normal (wild type) and what you are seeing is one eye that does not have a fully dilated pupil and the other is fully dilated.

I agree, your male is a wild-type.
Also, there isn't really a gradient of eclipse. Either it is or it isn't. A gecko can either be homozygous for eclipse or heterozygous for eclipse. Homozygous means they have two mutant alleles and they will display this phenotypically (meaning visually). Heterozygous means they only have one mutant allele and they will not display this phenotypically (so you would see no outward evidence of it).
