Yes, as they carry and lay the eggs. Note that some species don't have males at all; the females just lay unfertilized eggs which hatch into more females. If you plan on getting a female as a pet, know your species, and don't be alarmed if she does start laying! :P

You can't they are asexual. most of them are female an the males don't com around very often.
