Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

It is difficult to say whether, or not, your gecko is okay without knowing how he is acting, what he looks like, etc. Also without knowing whether, or not, his set up is appropriate.
How is he acting?
Does he appear too skinny?
What does his tail look like (plump or skinny or "middle of the road")?
What do his stools look like?
Are you feeding live mealworms that are of appropriate size for the size of your gecko? (Insect/worm should be no longer than the space between his eyes)
What is his set up like?
What are the temps (especially the warm side)?
Does he have water available 24/7.
Have you tried any other feed items (i.e. appropriate sized Dubia roaches, crickets, silkworms, etc.)?

He's active, drinking and roaming and such
He seems to have decent body mass
Tails pretty chubby too
Solid and he poops everyday
Yes I am.
He's in a 15 gal with a heat mat, two hides, water bowl and food bowl
Warm side floor temp is 87-90 cool side is 78-81
Yes and he drinks frequently
I was headed to the store today but he ate one more worm last night and that gave me a little hope lol

What a cute little guy. 
Glad to see that he ate another mealworm.
Doesn't appear that anything is wrong.
May simply be a case that he is not accustomed to mealworms.
Although, with time, he should become accustomed to them. If possible, try to pick out some mealworms that are extra active since Leos especially hone in on movement.
You can also try some different insects/worms to see if he prefers eating something else.
