im not good with the age thing but i think hes about a year and his weight looks good but it was hard to tell the pic was all fuzzy. and you havent see him shed because they eat there skin. i rarely see any of mine shed.

I see mine shed all the time.

It looks like he must of lost his tail before. Geckos aren't supposed to have short rounded tails, they're more long and "slenderish," I guess you could say. Most geckos that have once lost their tails have that short rounded appearence that your guy has.
