I recently rescued a leopard gecko from someone that hadn't been feeding them properly, or even regularly for that matter. She was quite skinny from what I gathered doing some research online. I did read online that once they gain some weight, they should in their tail also. I have noticed that she has gained weight since we took her in, but I dont think her tail has gotten much bigger like her body has. I am new to everything related to leopard geckos...so I was just wondering if anyone thought her size was normal or if im doing anything wrong. I think i started to freak out because i read something about them sometimes getting impacted. She eats mainly crickets and mealworms. (With the vitamin powder) And the occasional wax worm as a treat. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. I attached pictures if her as well. ..plz dont judge her enclosure, as I am currently fixing her a 40 gallon one so she can live her best life.lol (This is the one we received her in)
Does my gecko look healthy?

The tail is a bit thin but I don't think it looks that bad. What is the planned substrate for her new enclosure?
