When a leopard gecko feels threatened it loses its tail. The tail still moves because it has nerve endings in it, and will distract the enemy while the leopard gecko gets away. Eventually the leopard gecko will grow a new tail but it will not be as pretty as its old tail. It will grow back in a "light bulb" shape instead of sleek and straight.
Most adults, males, would fight back but babies tend to run away as fast as they can.
no absolutely not! If your leopard gecko needs a companion try another leopard gecko (you can not pair male leopard geckos with other male leopard gecko)

Leopard geckos may drop their tails as a defense mechanism when they feel threatened or stressed. This process, known as autotomy, allows them to escape from predators by leaving behind a wriggling tail that distracts the predator while the gecko makes its getaway. Additionally, if a leopard gecko's tail is injured or grabbed by a predator, it may intentionally detach its tail to protect itself and survive.
The Latin name for the Leopard gecko is 'Eublepharis macularius'
