My geckos tails seem small compared. Is there anything I can do to put weight on them? D:

I wouldn't be too overly concerned if your leo doesn't have a super fat tail... sometimes a super fat tail is a sign of an obease gecko. After all it is a fat storage device so the fatter the tail the more fats your leo is ingesting and not using.

Young leos (under a year to 1.5 yrs of age) may not develop a fatter tail until their in their big boy pants since they're using all the food stores for growth. Eros just turned a year in March and I noticed his tail getting bigger until he decided to cut down how often/much he ate. Now it is obviously a fatter tail but not super sized Very Happy
