There is no way to determine the age of an adult T from casual visual inspection, much less a photo, unless you know when it was hatched and have verifiable records. If it's an ultimate male, you can get a pretty good idea since males of most species mature at a certain age. Even that can be "iffy", though, since many factors can determine how fast the T matures, like food supply and weather conditions in the wild. This one appears to be an adult, based on size, but again, growth rate in T's, like many animals, is determined more by outside variables than by genetics. A G. rosea female can be mature at six years, and look just like a 20-year-old female of the same species. Since many of these are wild-caught and imported as adults, there's no record of hatching date.
