    If you have had him sexed and he is a male he may be 3-4, they tend to grow very slow according to my vet, we just got a female who is only six inches and he said she's probably around two, the thing with these guys is they are usually wild caught so noone knows anything about them. We live in Denton, I recommend you take him to Dr. Randall Hickman in Mckinney, he's really into reptiles and breeds snakes, leopard geckos, bearded dragons and he's really good and knowledgeable about exotics.

    I'm talkin in years, sorry, i'm not saying that's a positive but I thought the one we just got was only about a year or so at the most but my vet said she's at least 2 maybe even 3 yrs old. They are born around 3 inches long and can live up to 20 years in good conditions.

    His phone number is 972 542 8675, it' off of 75 going south and exit on white, it's in a little shopping center on the right with a pizza hut and a comic book store. Just ask directions if you get confused they are really nice up there.
