It sounds like Metobalic Bone Disease to me(MBD). Start dusting his crickets with calcium powder, or get a UVB light!

Oh no! You haven’t been dusting at all? You probably should see a vet. You need to get pure calcium phosphate and another calcium powder with D3, and a multivitamin. The pure calcium is most important but you need all 3. You should also get some phoenix worms - they are very high in natural calcium (MullberryFarms.com). You need to get a small dish - a soda bottle cap works great - and fill it with the pure calcium, and leave it in the cage for your gecko to lick. You should dust your geckos food EVERY FEEDING - about five days a week with pure calcium, two days a week with the calcium with D3, and about once every two weeks with a leopard gecko multivitamin (I use the T-rex brand but I think any are fine). You can find all these at a pet store and usually fish stores too. Good luck! And go do more research on what leopard geckos need so no other problems come about :)
