If you put the pair together, it is likely that they will breed, but is not absolute.
I don't know too much about this either, but most females are somewhat particular about where they lay their eggs. That's why breeders use nesting boxes, often with damp sphagnum moss in them. (Someone who breeds can tell you more about it.) If none is available, the female will eventually have to lay the eggs anyway, but she'll be happier with a suitable place. And then if you want them to hatch, you'll need some kind of an incubator. Some people make theirs. A Hova-Bator is a relatively inexpensive incubator to buy.
