Crested Gecko Age?

Well this is my new lil buddy that I got a couple weeks ago from petco. The pics arent that great but they are the best I could do with my phone. Any idea of old she may be? LOL me and my gf call it a she all the time so it doesnt get any male thoughts in its head. I bought her a male crested last year and we hope to breed the two eventually.

It's really hard to tell the age by a picture or weight. Each crested will grow differently. With it being from Petco it was probably fed mostly a cricket diet so it's probably around 6-7 months old. Also with it being from Petco, I would keep it as far away from the other one as possible for a few months to be sure it's not sick or carrying any disease or parasites that it may have picked up from all their wild caught junk.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.. it looks like it is in between 5 or 6 months. The other one she was caged with had started to develop male bulges but he seemed to be a little more skinnier.. I didn't plan on introducing the two together for at least 7 maybe 8 months.
