I've got 2 leos, 1 is a hypo-tang and the other is a Rainwater patternless albino. ZuZu, the patternless is the most friendly and curious, but she is a pretty clumsy hunter. She usually takes 2 or 3 strikes at a mealworm before getting it, and sometimes she's wayyyy off the first time or two. She's only 5 months old, so I'd be interested to know if it's still inexperience or what. I hope it isn't some sort of a vision problem.
Oh well, eventually she gets her meal and doesn't seem to bang herself up in the process so I guess all is well. She's plenty plump and growing, so she must be getting her fill.

I have a male leo that's 10 years old and he's been very clumsy eating his entire, I've raised him since he was a baby. I even named him Clumsy just for the fact he couldn't catch a cold if he tried. I always hand feed him crickets and other bugs that are too fast for him, but he can usually catch wax worms and mealworms. Leopards are just so funny to watch do anything!
