You said…”Sorry im new to this”…we were all new to it at one point! Just hang around here and read lots of information from this site and a few other sites we recommend, ask questions, etc and you will soon know all that we know!
I’d say @isaiah33 is in the ball park for the age. How much you feed them and their genetics play a part in how fast they go.
Look at the heels on the back feet for tarsals spurs and send us a photo. If it has them, then it’s a male…if not it’s female. It’s important to know because you need to raise/keep females differently or you’ll likely end up with reproductive issues. BTW?..not all species have tarsal spurs…so some we sex by other means!

If you answer the questions as precisely as possible in this thread, we can review your husbandry and tell you if you need to make any changes….

From what Im seeing in the last pic he sent, its a male though I can't see it the best so could be wrong.
From the water bottle photo it looks like there is a spur…so you’re likely right. Just want to confirm.
