gravid leos they can take pics of.... but you should be able to see the eggs in their tummies one on the left and one on the right... starting at where the belly buttom would be if they had one and going down on either side towards the vent... the generally look pinkish white and as they get closer to laying on light colored animals you can see them through the skin just from viewing them from the side or youll see em buldging out if you gently pick em up (not by tail) and look from the vent towards the head. maybe this will help maybe not
but no doubt one ya see it you cant mistake it
