Is this normal?

Is if normal/ok for my leopard gecko Hamlet to eat five or six mealworms then not to eat for a day or two then eat five or six mealworms the next and repeat that pattern. He is pretty young so I know they need to eat every day but it does not look like he is loosing any weight.

That's really not very much, my 4 month old leo eats 6 appropriate sized crickets and 8-10 meal worms every day. Are you temps ok? Floor temp of 89-95 on the hot side?

 

[madison45]

the floor temp is about 90 degrees the hot side and about 80 degrees on the cool side. I'm not sure why he does not eat that much.

Can you post pics so we can see what his body condition is like?

[madison45]

yes here he is sorry I was having trouble inputing photos

 

[Embrace Calamity]

I dunno. That's not a very good pic, so it's hard to say. See what someone else says. How old is he?

Tail looks skinny...

I think you should have a fecal done to detect if it has an over abundance of parasites. Couldn't hurt

his tail is bigger then it looks in the photo and it has been getting a lot better since i got him and he has no other signs of parasites because i have been monitoring him very closely since I got him to make sure he was not ill and I am not positive how old he is but he is about six inches long at he still has quite a few rings on his tail if that can tell you any thing
