    Is it an adult female and has she been bred? Gravid females sometimes lie inverted like that before laying eggs... A pic might help if you can get one...

    Sometimes our boys will lay like that if they've had a big meal.

    Usually it's gravid females, but sometimes other animals will do this too. I've seen snakes going into shed lay inverted as well.
