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.
