Yes. Most species of geckos lay eggs. There are few but some gecko species that bear live births, this is referred to as vivipary or ova-viviparous. Some species that bear live births include: Naultinus elegans elegans, Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus, Rhacodactylus trachycephal.

Most of the world's gecko species lay eggs, though not all geckos reproduce this way. Some species, such as the approximately 40 gecko species endemic to New Zealand, give birth to live young.

If you have a mature male and a female leopard gecko, the female can become pregnant (gravid). She will usually carry two eggs at a time and will need a laying box to lay her eggs in. Books on leopard gecko care will tell you what type of laying box to provide. After a short incubation period, the eggs should hatch.
