Your leo looks quite healthy. If you're concerned then you could fatten it up a little bit. Maybe a couple of grams more. Be careful though, I saw someones leo once that actually split it's tail while laying eggs cause the poor thing was so overweight.

i have a few females about that size. i thought they were too small to breed...maybe i should reconsider?

Doesn't look bad to me :) Could be a little bigger, but in general not bad :) If you were planning on breeding him/her, I might try to fatten her up a little more first though...

Personally, I think the tail is fine but as some people already said if you want to breed it you might want to fatten it up.

I agree - this Gecko is a little underweight for breeding - the tail looks ok but overall the Gecko should be fed more and should look more fat than this

looks fine but a little fattening up wouldnt hurt
