Some lizards grow new tails because when they are attacked by a predator, their tail will break off and the veins will close instantly so no blood is lost. The tail will keep moving so the predator will go after the tail and the lizard can escape.
Not all lizards do this since many of them do need their tails for important things, like chameleons, which have prehensile tails or big ones like crocodiles and komodo dragons, which use them for balance, swimming, or to attack.
They regrow their lost tail (Or any lost limb on certain species, like the salamander Axolotl) by sending stem cells to that place to regenerate.

How long does it take for a blue tailed lizard to grow his tail back?
Lizards can lose their tails, but not all lizards can grow them back.Lizards that lose their tails may grow them back but the replacement tail is never as long or as colorful as the original one. Replacement tails grow back in as little as three months or as long as two years.In Iguanas and Komodo Dragons, the tail bones are not designed to break easily and the tail muscles are also not designed to pull apart smoothly. These lizards however can also lose their tails, but it takes a much stronger pull to make this happen. With these types of lizards, the wound heals, but the tail does not grow back.The main species that are capable of regrowing their tails are skinks and salamanders. So the answer may be that your blue tailed lizard (which is likely a blue tailed skink) will grow his tail back, it will just be a while.
