also, speds motor skills are improving, he still falls over a little when running, but hes not hitting his head as often and he's a cold blooded insect killer Wink

Ate 15 worms and 10 crickets in just one day? Ouch, you have a pig right there. Tongue

Does a leopard gecko know when to quit on eating? Can they be overfed when they are still growing up?

So your little leopard gecko is changing color/pattern. Do you prefer their baby look over adult appearance? I know I do. Smile

haha yea, they can eat you out of house and home when theyre young! and in most cases, they stop eating when theyre full, but occasionally you will find a chunky one here and there who like to eat a worm or two too many, but normally they are supposed to be a little pudgy, specially if they are being bred. and i deff prefer the baby patterns!

I agree, they're like many boas to me, they look so much cooler as neos. So far In my experience, you really can't overfeed a baby. Once they get to adult size, some can overeat and get fat. My adult male is on a "diet", lol.
