A gecko drops its tail as a defense mechanism induced by fear. When a predator approaches, the gecko is able is drop the tail and leave it behind to entice the predator. However, the gecko then loses the fat stored in its tail that will keep it healthy during times when food is harder to find.
Dont panic, it normal. your gecko tail fell off for some reason that may be the following: it was bit by a cricket, stuck, hurt, pulled, yanked, touched (hard), pushed (hard),and many more reasons. The geckos tail will grow back, but not as long, it will be much shorter, but don't worry. This happens to a lot of geckos. It happened to my brothers. Just make sure your gecko is doing fine.
It's a defence mechanism - common to other species as well as Geckos. If you grab a Gecko by the tail, it can sever the tail at the point it joins the body - in order to escape. The tail usually grows back over a lengthy period - but it's still a traumatic occurrence for the lizard !
Yes, it is very common for leopard geckos to "release" their tails. In the wild, they will release their tail if they feel threatened, and the predator will be distracted by the moving tail. The tail will eventually grow back, but it will be deformed.
only the fat tailed geckos tail can delach and grow back but only to distact an enemey.
It Grows back but painfully,dont touch the tail or you will infect
If you grab it or pinch it in something it will come off. At times they can loose their tail if another crested bites it.
The gecko will grow a new one, and the tail that fell of will simply decompose normally.
geckos will drop their tails wherever they are; if that's in the wild or even in their cage.

Can leopard geckos talk?
Leopard geckos do not have the ability to speak in English by any means but they can vocalize. Geckos will vocalize for many different reasons. Males will call out to females in order to prove dominance, and prove whom is the bigger male for rights to breed. A lot of leopard geckos will hiss when feeling threatened or in danger. Tokay geckos are notorious for croaking and grunting. Geckos are the only species of reptile that have this ability to vocalize.
