As all geckos do, they have the ability to "drop their tail" meaning the cartalage at the base of their tails can contract and the tail can detach from the body. This will give the gecko a couple extra seconds to get away from harms reach. A few seconds is all a gecko usually needs to find it's self deep in brush.
