That is an incredibly obese leopard gecko.
You should really get that gecko on a diet, it's current weight is one that is very unhealthy.
No other species is considered "better" when it is morbidly obese, why should leopard geckos be any different?
I apologize if I come off sounding rude, it's just that over the last few months I have seen many pictures on this site of grotesquely obese leopard geckos that are being proudly displayed as "healthy" leopard geckos, and it bothers me.

lol.
I don't think that is "too fat" or "obese" at all.
I think it is just the angle he is at, and with his body at the curve that it's at, that makes it look like that, but i bet if that gecko is stretched out and lined up str8, it would not appear as so.

How do you explain the giant fat deposits that are clearly visible behind each front leg of the gecko pictured?
Do you believe that fat sacks in the "armpit" region of a leopard gecko are a sign of good health or a sign of obesity?

Ok, so lets think about it... lets just say this gecko is a little on the heavy side... so whats the big deal...?!?! Assuming Josiah is breeding it this upcoming season, then it will lose a nice amount of weight anyway, and be right back to normal. Having a gecko a little on the heavy side is deff. not a bad thing coming this close to the breeding season! But by no means, would i call this gecko "obese". Thats rediculous, this gecko is simply well fed, and mayyybe on the heavy side, at worst. And besides, maybe he purposely bulked up this gecko a little just for the breeding reason.
