Normal or not normal? Gravid U.Milii

Tonight I was just in the Gecko room and noticed the Female U.Milii out on the night time hunt. I grabbed the torch to see that she was sitting on a rock and that one of the two eggs were stretching her skin down so it rests between her skin and the rock whilst the other egg still sits in her belly comfortably.

Is this normal? Is this some sort of indication that the egg is gaining weight?

Tomorrow (Monday 22 october) she will be 6weeks Gravid, Must lay soon, Correct?

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Shawn

Provide a few areas of moist sand in the enclosure so she can dig and lay them, they like digging under something or in the corners. Best to keep her in a tub or tank with a clear bottom so you can see where she layed the eggs to retrieve them for incubation and incubate in moist vermiculite at about 28C.
Hope this helps.
