Most gecko species can regenerate a new tail if lost or eaten, although there are some species of gecko that will not grow another. A crested gecko is an exaple of a gecko that will not grow another tail.

A gecko is not able to grow back an arm or leg although, most gecko species are able to re generate a new tail. When a tail has grown back, it will look miss-shaped from the first one and generally will be stubby.

Geckos have the ability to re generate their tails, but they cannot bring back a limb. A gecko with deformities can make a great house pet but i would not recommend breeding this animal as it can cause more stress considering its disability.

It depends on what type of lizard. Geckos can regrow tails. It's like how our hair grows.
