My leopard gecko is always hungry. Should I feed it until it's full?

My leopard gecko is very hungry all the time. I don’t want to overfeed it (I don’t know the gender yet) but I don’t want to accidentally starve him either. Should I just feed him until he won’t eat any more?

Thanks for reaching out about Rocco. Overfeeding at one time can lead to constipation from too much insects. The real gauge is measuring its body condition to see if putting on too much weight. Good luck.
