I just got this leopard gecko...and..it's hardly alive. The people said it hasn't eaten since Christmas, which it now is August...I am feeding it "apples" baby food and going to get some squash in there also have been mixing with calcium+vit d. I am going to try my best to keep this guy alive. His tail is seriously the size of a pen.

ummmm hon...........leopards are carnivorous.  They only eat meat.  Apples and squash are a no no.

i'm confused.  If he's not eating meat, how are you getting proteins into him?
Leopards don't digest fruits and veggies.

Dragon pellets are never a good idea for any nutritional source. They are full of preservatives and derivatives.Consider it like trying to raise a healthy child on only McDonald's.
