Hey guys, I took some advice form the thread a couple months ago. My 2 year old male aft has not been gaining any weight at all. He's gained a smidge on his tail, but hasn't been other then that. I tried feeding him more food in one sitting, different dietary powders in case he's missing anything, experimenting with different temperatures etc. He does not have an eating disorder as he will grab anything i give him quite fast, and his behavior is relatively normal (normal sleep schedule, friendly demeanor, etc.) and he doesn't have much shedding problems as I started using a reptile spray for him. Anyways, no matter what I try, he has not gained any weight since my last post. Is it a parasite, or is it another reason? Thanks in advance.

How much does he weigh? Is his tail a reasonable thickness? If he's an adult, he may have reached his maximum weight. They tend to weigh less than leopard geckos.
