Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

ask its mother.
Short of getting a hatch date from the breeder, buying it young (and keeping track), or getting a good history when you purchase an older one, it is largely guesswork. I'm sure some people are better at this than others, but I have looked closely at a 4 year old and an 11 year old and not seen significant differences.

If you can still see the original banding on it that has not yet broken up into the spots, or other pattern, you can guess it is around a year or less, but once it hits full size, you can't tell. If it is female you can see how many eggs she lays this year as compared to last year. If it is a larger amount, chances are she is younger and reaching towards her prime years, if the amount is declining, then she is getting older and egg production is decreasing. That is the only way I can think.
Mine seem to get fatter and lazier too....as they age.

LOL, thank goodness no one answered with "Count the rings in their tail." Someone actually told me that the pet store they bought their gecko from told her that they tell how old all of their leopard geckos are that way....
