I have a 2 year old male leoprd gecko named Klaus. I got him in april, and after almost a month of no food, he finally started eating. I feed him every other day, usually 10-16 mealworms. I saw somewhere someone would give theres 5 every other day? Am I over feeding him? He usually gets about 12, and the most he has ever eaten in one sitting is 19. I usually just pick a set amount between 10-16 and give him those, if I let him he would eat 30 im sure.

He isnt fat, or skinny. He seems a perfect weight to me, where people say fat pouches are, in their armpits, he has indents. His tailis fat but not obese. He is healthy, happy and loves feeding time, but should I cut back?

Here are some pictures of him-

He is adorable!! Love him. His weight looks good. I have a huge adult male who tends to the heavy side. So he gets 10 mealworms twice a week. I feed my other almost adult male twice a week as well but he will eat a dozen or more. He is much smaller and does not tend toward chubbiness as much though.
