Lizards have tails for the same reason most other quardapedal animals do. It's used for balance. Many animals would be a bit topheavy without one. In the case of lizards, though, the tails double as other things as well. Monitors and frilled lizards have notably long, whiplike tails they use to lash at each other or predators. Lizards in arid climates like leopard geckos and Gila monsters use their tails as fat reserves. Chameleons have very prehensile, flexible tails that can be used to grip tree branches. Anoles, some geckos, and several other lizards have detachable tails that are used to distract predators, and regrow once the lizard escapes.
