how old is my girl?

[katrinaC]

I'm wondering the age of my little one. I got her from petco and they said they don't get the exact age but that they are usually around a year. Someone on fb said she's more like 5 years. Thought I'd get some other opinions. She's about 5 Inches long and 305 grams. Thanks for any help on this
