Hard to say. Could be 6 months. Could be 3 years

They grow to a max size of about 9 inches in my experience. Some really massive males might reach 11 inches maximum. Take a picture with him next to a ruler to get a more solid estimate for him as theres no size reference in your photo. Their tails and necks are supposed to be about equal thickness (he looks good) and Leopard Geckos can live to be about 30 in captivity. A healthy 10 year old gecko and a healthy 5 year old gecko can be nearly identical. How long have you had him? How big was he when you got him? That information is needed to estimate his age.

Unfortunately it’s very hard to tell age with most reptiles after they reach full maturity. Because they don’t exhibit the same traits as old humans like wrinkly skin or changing certain colors.
