This is a young gecko I used to have.
Some guy told me he was skinny and that I should have him checked for parasites.

Just the word image

Used to have or still have? What happened to him?

Hard to see the tail in that pic but he doesn't look terribly thin from what I can see, if there were other symptoms (loose stools, lack of appetite, failure to thrive) a fecal wouldn't be a bad idea. Geckos can have low-level infection of worms if you have good cleanliness in the enclosure, so disease is not overt but they just don't get fat like they should. Crickets carry worms, so a yearly fecal and or round of panacur is a not a bad idea if you feed crix.

correct me if im wrong, but arn't those big eyes an undisirable trait, and not supposed to be bred?
