How Much is a Leo of 7 mnths supposed to weigh?

[Rel]

i bought this guy about a 2 months ago... And the guy told me he was about 5-6 months.... He weighs 26.7 grams... Is this good?

A picture would be more useful, since body shape and weight varies from gecko to gecko.

Hard to tell with the picture, but at that age he should weigh more. While some geckos are smaller genetically and there's nothing wrong with them, 26.7g at 6-8 months old is really light. If fed well, they should hit 26g in 3-4 months.

This is of course assuming the breeder told you the right age when he sold the gecko to you.

In that case pet stores employees usually don't know the age of these geckos they sell, so I would take it with a grain of salt. Looking at the gecko and how proportional it is will be a better way to see whether the gecko is at a healthy weight or not.

The gecko looks pretty healthy, the tail looks proportional. It's not skinny, so you should be fine.

A growing gecko like that should be fed however much they want to eat, so you can be the judge. When you feed the gecko just watch to see how much the gecko eats, and take out the leftover feeders after 10-15mins. If you want the gecko to pack on some more weight, you could try alternating superworms in your mix to add to your diet variety.
