you can see bye the size of the animal if it is small then of course it is still young and if it is large then it is older like 20-25cm is 2 years about. But you never fully know how old it is unless you had it from day one you can try asking the person you bought it from or your local reptile vet and they can give you an approximate answer.
Yes - three of mine are ! At least they've mated with a male and are likely to lay eggs any day now.
