He's very pretty. His body condition looks good but his tail looks all gibbled to me in that last photo, like it's kinked or he's losing weight and his tail is getting thinner.

I agree actually, I have only had him for two days now though. He was like that when I bought him. Would you say lack of food? Lack of calcium? What would you recommend doing? The people at the store had absolutely no knowledge, and I even had to show them how to sex a leopard gecko haha.

Does it look all kinked in person or does it just look like it's thinning out?? If it is thinning I might take him to the vet to get checked for parasites and just make sure you feed him regularly.

Alrighty, if it looks kinked then it could have been broken before and healed funny, or he could have MBD, or he could be born that way. You won't know unless you took him to the vet. If he's healthy otherwise I wouldn't worry... MBD is serious but it doesn't look like that to me.
Alright. Can they break off just the tip of the tail? Because the end of the tail does look very weird.

One more question, how often and how much do you feed your leos? The pet shop told me two large crickets everyother day... I dont know if I should trust their word...

My one year old female can put away 8 large crickets a day if I let her. I usually do about 8 every other day for adults. Depending on how you want to go about it, a constant bowl full of meal worms in the cage wouldn't be a bad idea either. Variety is the key.
