About your leo:

He is acting timid and very sluggish.
Fecal looks normal.

Problem she looks skinny

Housing:
A) Enclosure

he looks quite healthy to me. very nice gecko.
i would invest in a digital thermometer or an inferred thermometer as you need to measure the floor temp to correctly asses the temp because its super important for correct digestion.
make sure your using a calcium with D3 in it. you can leave a bowl of plain calcium in the tank but use a mix that contains D3 and vit A to dust the food.

He looks perfectly healthy from that photo. No visible stuck shed, nice chubby tail, etc. You got a good one!
