Is my leo two skinny???

I don't think he is but I just wanted to make sure. Better to be safe than sorry. If he is then I already know how to fatten him up. Thanx to everyone that helps.

Not too skinny - but looks like a couple of extra feedings wouldn't hurt. The regenerated tail looks a little dehydrated too. Just curious, what's the temperature at the warm end of the leos's enclosure?

UUUUUmmmmm.... let me check... somwhere between 83 and 88.

LoL, its funny what you CAN tell from a picture -- I was guessing about 85 for the hot spot. If you can give her/him an area that's about 88 to 90 for belly heat, while making sure she/he has access to an area that's 82 or so, I bet you'll notice her colors brighten up and her appetite pick up also. Good luck with your leo!

He looks fine, he just has a regenerated tail.
