Does he look underweight?

I've posted of King Louis before and some people have said he looks a little skinny. I feed him 8-10 crickets daily that are dusted with calcium and once a week or two weeks with vitamins and d3. He poops regularly ( not runny or anything ). I try feeding him mealworms but he wants nothing to do with them lol. But he loves waxworms but that's really bad. Any opinions would be great, thanks :) he's around 5 months old.
 
I don't think he looks skinny at all. His lighter brownish skinny stripes make it look like you can see his ribs in the thumbnail, but upon closer inspection, it looks as if you are feeding him well. He has a little tummy.

I don't think he is in any way overweight or underweight, and let me tell you, he looks so pretty!

Thank you very much! I love the orange around his eyes lol :D

I gave my lil guy some mealies and he really wasn't interested, then again I did have them lower in the cage, but I will try up where I usually stick the feed cups. I also tried waxworms and saw him with one in his mouth but I put only 5 in and 5 were left, so he either didn't like it or spit it out cuz he saw me. He did that the only time I saw him take a cricket and he held it in his mouth, I found the cricket later on, or the next day, dead...I think it was it, none jumped out of cup. He seems to crap every other day, looked for some on the hanging plants where he hides, is that normal?
 
try a horn worm or silk worm ..mine doesn't like meals or wax. but he loves super horn and silk. he ate a few butters but he didn't eat them like the rest
