Since we don't know it's age it would be hard to estimate that. Size is a better indicator of when (half grown) but even then it's sometimes possible to tell early on.
Does Geek have a suitable hiding place? If the 'cave' it has is not sufficiently dark or is too big to make it feel protected then temperature selection becomes priority over cover thus it will select a comfortable temperature spot in the cage. Do you have a thermal gradient set up?

Two suggestions: Get a book on your new pet. This is the leo bible, but something like this or this is suitable for a new owner and all the needs of his new friend.
Secondly i would stay away from those heavy plastic rock caves. They have a tendency to slip from the hand of the owner and smash their little friend. Try something like this that you might buy food in. They are very light, about the right height, a hole can be cut into them easily, most are dishwasher safe, and it can be thrown away and replaced with another.
