Overweight?

This is Rocko.
He is about 3 or 4 years old. Trying to increase his intake for fresh vegetables. He eats only a little though. Never finishes a dish of vegetables. He does eat dusted crickets daily. About 6 of them. I am starting to lesson the amount, was about 10 daily.
We have him out of his cage daily and he runs around all over our floor and climbs furniture. He poops daily too. And occasionally gets a bath.
My concern is his low belly. Would he be considered overweight? And what to do about it?
Thanks!
Ps. He was very unhappy with having his photo taken. He stomped at me.

Other than a pot belly he looks fine. Does his stomach always droop like that or is it just an odd pic ? Can you post a few more pics ? What is his length + weight ?

Yeah he looks good and the weight is O.K., you wouldn't want it any more than that. Reducing his cricket intake from 10 to 6 a day was good, his pot belly might shrink now.
Silly dragon and his towel, smh. :LOL:

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
