I have seen some of the pictures that people have posted and I'm worried that my leo doesn't have a fat enough tail. Should I be worrying? I am also wondering if he is a morph and what type he might be.

Sorry, here is a web site that has a picture of my leo.

the pic does not work...

how old is it?
I don't know how old it is(it didnt come across my mind to ask the ppl at the pet store). But it is 7 inches long and has all its spots. The cage said Leopard Gecko (JUV) but (JUV) was crossed out. My guess is a year or so.
do you have a scale to weigh it, or have you been to the vet lately and gotten it weighed?
its probabaly a male, it looks no more than maybe 5-6 months old, the tail is at a normal-ish size it could stant to gain a bit more weight, but its fine, if it were sick the tail would look very drained like someone sqeezed out all the fat, just feed it mealworms with the occasional waxworm(1-3 a week) dusted in cal/vit also of course, good luck

Thank you for all the help BlueLeo and Manhattenherps. To answer BlueLeo's question, it weighs 25g.
Sorry, I frogot that my image wasnt able to be viewed. I was wondering is it ok that im feeding my leo crickets instead of mealworms? Will mealworms help him put on weight?
Mealworms fat% is 12.72 and crickets is 6.01, everything else on them is pretty much close.
