I have two female leopard geckos and i've heard that they can lay eggs without a male. IS THIS TRUE? If it is, are the eggs infertile?

It is very common for females that have never mated to produce eggs and those eggs will not be fertile. You should however be aware that female leopards, like most reptiles, are capable of storing sperm from an earlier mating. If your females were housed with a male anytime in the last several months then there is a chance that the eggs may be fertile.
