I moved my 9 m.o. leo to an adult feeding schedule on March 21st, due to weight gain and armpit bubbles. I feed him through a bowl, as he is very shy and also a pretty crappy hunter. So, he doesn't often eat in front of me and I tend to leave it for him to eat at his leisure. I've noticed there are still worms and roaches left in his bowl (and the crickets are gone but they may be escaping) 24/48 hours after feeding them. Should I start removing the feeders after a certain period of time or should I just leave them until the next feeding day? I have just been leaving them until the next feeding day and rotate them out, but I wasn't sure if this was the best considering I'm going 2 days in between feedings now. I am slightly concerned because he hasn't had a poop or urate since the change either. Is this normal?

You may be feeding too much at feedings rather then too often. You should be monitoring them eating and not leaving the bugs, especially crickets because if they get out and hide they can bite your leo. 
I typically only feed one cricket or roach with 3-4 small mealworms a feeding. We already identified that he was overweight and @wraith orbit suggested that I move to an adult feeding schedule. He's a very cryptic leo and won't come out to eat if I'm there, so this is really the only choice I have, unfortunately.
I mean you kinda left the suggestion part so I was just going off what I knew.
