I used meadium mealworms for feeding and my leo is about 4-5 inches long and about 1-2 inches wide. those are rough estimates but should be relatively close. the warm side of his enclosure gets up near 95 degrees and the cool side stays near 80 degrees (it gets a bit cooler at night, but not by much).
honestly I'm beggining to doubt both impaction and parasites because I switched him back over to solid food on thursday evening (one wax worm) and he was fine all day friday so I put another wax worm in assuming he would defate in the middle of the night and then go eat. well this morning when I woke up he hadn't touched the live wax worm and he had thrown up the wax worm I had fed him thursday. it was barely digested at all (since fat digestion doesn't start until the small intestines). he had defacated a small amount of extremly dark, runny fecal matter and a normal amount of urate. so on monday when the vet opens up I'm taking him in for xrays so me and the doc can figure out what on earth is going on with my little guy. but while I'm waiting he's back on the food/medication mixture the vet gave me and hopefully he'll get better.
