Leo losing weight
Hello
The more my leo eats the more his tale gets thinner. He is eating fine as far as i can tell, im feednig him crickets and mealworms and he takes them off tongs so i see him eat. I cant see any signs of diareah or anything. And he has fresh water every day. Anyone got any ideas?

No, not at all, if its parasites or worms and you get a correct id on them, then treatment will be pretty fast and he should start putting the weight back on.
Its vital not to leave it to long as the internal organs will start to fail at some stage due to the cronic underweight.
