Yes, leopard geckos can lose their tail as a defense mechanism when threatened. This is a common occurrence among leopard geckos, and their tails can regenerate over time.

Can leopard geckos lose their tails and if so, what are the reasons behind it?

Yes, leopard geckos can lose their tails in a process called autotomy. This typically occurs when they feel threatened or stressed, allowing them to escape from predators. The tail will regenerate over time, but it may not look exactly the same as the original.


Do leopard geckos lose their tails and if so, why does this happen?

Yes, leopard geckos can lose their tails in a process called autotomy. This happens as a defense mechanism when they feel threatened or are in danger. The tail will detach easily from the gecko's body, allowing it to escape from predators while the tail continues to wiggle, distracting the predator. The gecko can later regenerate a new tail, although it may not look exactly the same as the original.

Can you tell me a little about leopard geckos?

leopard geckos eat mealworms crickets and mealworm beetles they can also at adult size eat scarab beetles scarab beetle larvae supperworms occasionaly a pinky mouse tomato hornworm silkworms and waxworms because wax worms have a lot of fat.they can grow to about at the most of 7 in sometimes biggeran adult should be housed in a ten gallon tank or three babies in a ten gallon tank. you can house females with one male or just house females together do not house males together because they will fight. they should always have fresh water and their safest bedding would be reptile carpet {what i have mine on}because all the other beddiings they can ingest and will impact them and impaction can be fatal. they should have three hiding placs a warm one a moist one and a cool one. the temperature in their tank should be 80f-90f. also don't pick them up by the tail as they will lose it if they r stressed out. they will regrow it however it will look different than a normal one.the only other type of geckos u can keep with leopard geckos are fat tailed geckos and panther geckos and again separate the males. feed adult geckos three large crickets a day and babies three small crickets a day also to help your geckos tail size and their health you can put cricket dust on the crickets which is calcium and do that twice a week. %


Why do geckos drop there tail?

It is used as a defence mechanism, so if a predictor attacks a gecko it would usually drop its tail to distract the attacker. Not all geckos do this but lots do, when geckos grow back there tail it usually looks different then before and is usually more wide. So if holding a leopard gecko for example make sure that you make sure you don't hurt the tail as it may lose its tail.
