Quitting the game on losing can be very annoying. I did the same thing with my first LD game (also written in pygame). It is better to put something there like "Press SPACE to exit" than nothing at all.
Also some advice for coding things like snake and tetris: Try to keep the coordinates small (so lead_x_change in your code would be 0,1, or -1) and multiply by an up-scaling factor in rendering like:
pygame.draw.rect(gameDisplay,orange,[XnY[0]*SCALE, XnY[1]*SCALE,1*SCALE,1*SCALE])
That makes it easier to change the resolution later.

Maybe next time try to improve the controls of your game, since I can accidently kill myself by moving in the other direction.

Other than that it's a good first effort!
