Was that a Leo? I couldn’t really tell as the video quality was kinda ka-splat. :-)

the video was taken on a phone, the leo is the second animal on screen( ie the brown one)

i asked a breeder and he said it was normal for a leo with a second tail to be like that

It might have been the quality of the vid, but it looks to me like not only is the tail gigantic with fat, but fat is also being stored in the body and it looks kind of like a blob. The second tail is typical to grow out that way, but it still looks too fat to me

I don’t think your gecko is obese. Obese geckos usually resort to storing excess fat in their body as well as their tail. The body looks very healthy(but only as I can tell by the video, not very good quality). The tail looks like that because it has probably regrown. I’ve seen some strange looking tails like that one from geckos with regrown tails. Maybe you can weigh the gecko or take a picture of it compared to a coke can or dollar bill or something, that may help more than the video.
