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.

What are the reasons why a leopard gecko may drop its tail?

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.
