Pinworms are no big deal... they will give you some panacur and the worms will be gone after a few doses (as long as you keep their enclosures clean).
Most of the time leopards with pinworms are asymptomatic, they rarely cause any problems. That being said I prefer my geckos to be completely parasite free.
Good luck.

that's good that it's no big deal. my trio hasn't lost any weight they just haven't grown. i have two tanks for the three of them a 10 gallon and a 20 gallon long so i can bleach solution the one while there in the other and so on. and i'll pry just make temp hides out of stuff that i can just throw away and give the nice hides a good cleaning. i can't wait till they are back to happy campers!
