If you have a female or several and you decide not to breed them . Will they lay eggs ? Will they become egg bound for whatever reason? Kinda need to find out so I can responsibly plan my sulcatas.

Some will, some won't. If one of your females is aggressive it may trigger egg laying, but also, it may not. If they do have eggs you'll need to be sure there are good nesting places in the enclosure.

The vast majority of females will not produce or lay eggs if there is not a male present. There are rare exceptions, but it doesn't usually happen.
