I have this female leopard gecko and i heard that they sometimes make eggs in anticipation of a male. is this true? mine is about 9 1/2 inches long so if that is true would she be making them soon? do i get birth control or a male if she does? HELP!! PLEASE!!!

An unbred female will sometimes lay unfertilized eggs. It's okay if she does. They just will be duds. It's normal if this happens. If you want to breed them then yes get a male but I would suggest not. Breeding is hard work and requires lots of devotion.

i thought they will grow and bind together?

Occasionally a female who is too young or not in good health can get egg bound, but the vast majority of the time it works out OK and most unbred females don't lay eggs at all.
