They all grow at their own rates, so I don't know how accurate a aging by size would be.

There is a lot of veritables involved.
First you have genetics. Were the parents too young to be bred.
Then you have Food. How much they eat. What the food
was fed. How often they were fed.
Then you have lighting. UVB bulb. How close they were
to the light. Was the temps optimal for digestion.
Then you have vitamins and calcium. If they were getting them
at all.
If you got them from a pet store. There is a good chance they
are small for their age.

Hope this helps.
