[gecko]Li'i isn't cooperating!

Hi Sherron,

I have a couple older geckos that I help shed now and then, and I hold 
them on their backs.  They seem more comfortable that way, and I think 
the heat from my hand helps too.  I put my palm over their back and my 
thumb on their belly and between their front legs, with the point of my 
thumb toward their head. I hold gently, cause their lungs are under my 
thumb.  This leaves the feet up and the tail free ;-)  However, these 
are mad mads (Phelsuma madagascariensis madagascariensis) and about 8" 
long, so a lot bigger to work with!  I'm not sure how you'd manage that 
with Li'i, but maybe you can think of something.

Blessings,
Melody
