Female gecko question

Hey guys. I'm sure this is a dumb question but I can't find anything on it online...do female leopard geckos get pregnant/gravid without a male? Just curious.

They can lay eggs without a male yes, but they would need to have been with a male at some point and kept their sperm.

So if they don't have any old stored sperm they can't?

Correct, to my knowledge it can be stored for roughly a year or so and degrades over time.
