Hey I had bought my new leo friday and still hasn't eaten yet. I've read that its pretty common due to their new surroundings but it still doesn't stop me from worrying. He looks rather skinny to me but idk if that's a normal size for juveniles. Can someone tell me if he looks healthy?

He could gain some weight but he's not in danger of starving any time soon. Don't worry about him not eating unless he starts to noticeably loose weight. He looks okay for now

agreed he looks okay, could do with putting some on a bit but that will come as he setles in and grows.
the time it takes to settle in is diffrent from one gecko to the next, some take hours, others days to weeks. give him time alone to settle in he will come around.
as already said if he loses a noticeable amount of weight, seek a vet for a check up.

congrats on your new gecko and be patient :)

Looks like a good weight to me. I would suggest putting in some hides that are very dark inside so he can feel more secure. Those half logs don't provide the security a hide should. One way in, one way out, and dark inside. helping him feel more secure may help his appetite as well.
