Ok..Well my Geckos are still young probably between 1-3 months old but i get so jealous seeing everyones geckos with fat tails so my question is how long does it usually take before your leo tail gets all fat?! I feed mine mealworms but they gobble them up so fast! Advice!

Shouldn't take long, post a pic we can tell you if it's healthy looking. Not all geckos are supposed to have fat tails right away, especially when they are young.

I've had mine for over nine months now, and they still dont have the "fat tail" you're talking about. It's something that comes with age.

When they're young, all the food they eat ges towards growing rather than storage. Only once they have stopped growing, or eating more than they need to be able to grow, will it be stored in there tail as reserves. Smile
