Tegu laying unfertilized eggs?

[Khaotic]

Hello everyone. Im a long time stalker of the forum and cant seem to find a definitive answer to my question. I dont own a tegu, just currently researching. Will a female tegu that hasnt been bred lay unfertilized eggs? I know this is an issue for other reptiles and before i make a decision on male or female i would like to know if this will be an issue. Thanks for all the information you guys share on this site. Its been extremely helpful.

In my experience, most female lizards do not lay unfertilized eggs, but I haven't dealt with female tegus. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Green Iguanas will. I do not know if Tegus do, also.

I have a female, whom never did lay eggs. She is just about two years old.

Iguanids and many chelonians certainly will lay unfertilized eggs, but I've never experienced this with female tegus.

Too young yet.
