Gecko

  Should be noted that it isn’t geckos in general that don’t grow it back, just that kind (crested gecko). Though a regrown tail in other species still will be substantially different than the original

    Different in what way? Does it regrow as an underdeveloped shadow of its former self?

      Pretty much yeah. Heres an example from leopard geckos:

      The top is one with the original tail, and the lower is one with a regrown tail

      (Neither of these are my pictures, I just googled some for an example)

      In this case at least (I’m unsure if every species is like this), the regrow tail doesn’t really regrow the bones or original bumpy texture, it’s just a smooth fat blob in generally the shape of the tail, though often a bit thicker, shorter, and more blunt at the end. Image Image

    Of course the dragon knows all about lizards

    Skinks are the same way, no? They don’t regrow their tails after dropping them.

      That I’m not sure about, I know a lot less about skinks than I do geckos, but some quick searching suggests that at least some skinks can regrow a dropped tail

    I wish I had a tail in the first place!

    My butt plug tail doesn’t wiggle the way I want unfortunately

      Sometimes they cut it off when you are born, so that you don’t even remember having one

  Imagine if geckos came to live in The Society and their sleaky politicians denied them getting welfare because they can eat their own tail from time to time, they just don’t pull hard enough to torn it.
