hey i bought two skinny leos at the sandeigo show and one of them is doing great but the other still has a very skinny tail. it weighs 35 grams which isnt that bad considering it was about 27 when i got it but its tail is just really skinny i feed it every night about 6 mealworms and sometimes waxworms. and it goes to the bathroom regularly. can anyone tell me why its tail isnt getting any fatter but it is gaining weight.

He may have some sort of internal parasite that is sucking the nutrients from him before he gets to store it away in his tail. Otherwise it just may take some more time. Just keep feeding him and see what happens. Good luck
