My vet maintains that he has had more success breeding average weight leos compared to overweight ones which are becoming the popular trend. He actually wanted me to put one of my geckos on a diet (granted 80 grams at 6" was pretty damned obese, she's now grown into the weight and is 8").
I believe Monte once suggested (Correct me if i'm mistaken) that since in nature it is unlikely that they eat so consistently, especially during the cold months, it may be benefitial to give them a lean period in captivity as well...
