Does this gecko look like a juvenile?

I am rescuing this gecko, the guy claims to have gotten him two years ago at an expo, and Im not sure if he is really thin, or a juvenile? He looks like a juvenile to me, not a complete baby, but very young, what do you think? I want to know so I can figure out how to manage his weight if he is underweight, being an adult.
( and yes, he is missing a foot )

I don't think there's any way to know for sure. The gecko has clearly achieved its final pattern. Just feed it as much as it will eat and in either case it will gain weight and grow as long as there aren't other unseen problems.

If he's over two years old, he's not a juvenile anymore. He's an adult now. Awww, poor thing....missing a foot. That's sad. Hope he recovers well. He looks like he might have been very neglected and never got up to weight properly. But, I've seen worse (skinnier). Start feeding him a "variety" of gut-loaded, calcium dusted bugs. Baby him, and hopefully he'll come around fine.
