IMHO If you are going to photograph a lizards belly, in most cases it is proberly better to do it through a peice of glass rather than hold it upside down. Very easy to do with geckos

hey tim does she sort of look bulgy round the sides coz i can usually tell wen geckos r gravid.

Looks like your having some eggs tim & pretty soon id say,keep us informed as to how you go.Good luck hope your incubator is ready my guess is within 1-2weeks.

ok thanks geoff
what would be the best way to incubate them?
fuscus everytime she comes out she goes under my wrist to be upside down so i thought i would photograph her however she felt comfortable

You should put a lay box in for her,i use a chinese container bout 1/2 -3/4 full of moist peat moss,cut a hole big enough for her to get in n out of easily out of the lid this way you lose less moisture.Then for incubating pull the eggs out of the peat moss very carefull & lay on vermiculite or combo pearl lite vermiculite.You will notice her scratching round in the peatmoss soon after you add it to enclosure,aswell if shes a bit big for chinese container you may have to use something a bit bigger.
