Answer 4

Yes. It's a reptile!

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

It will grow back..but only once.  My daughter volunteers at a local reptile rescue center and we adopted 2 leopard geckos.  One of them lost it tail twice and it looks fat and stumpy now.  I actually think it adds to Sparky's charm.  He's a little bitty thing that is just so sad and loving because of the mistreatment he endured before we had him.  

Answer 7

Yes, but the regrown tail will not look as good as the orignal.

Answer 8

Yeah, but it won't be as long and it will be ugly.

Answer 9

I'm pretty sure it will grow back. That's how most lizard-like reptiles are. Good luck with your leopard gecko!

Answer 10

Despite the fact that people are saying "yes it's a reptile" that's not true among all reptile species.  Geckos that store their additional nutrience in their tail (such as leopards) will regrow their tails.  You will find that the new tail will look different than the original.  There will be no bumps as with the rest of the body and the original tail, but the colouration and patterning will also be quite different.  They can regrow their tail multiple times, however each time it will become more and more distorted and is very stressful for the gecko.  Dropping their tails is a defence mechanism... they will run away from whatever frightened them and drop their tail in hope that the predator will stop to eat it and it can run off to safety.  After the initial loss of the tail it is important that you maintain a nutritious diet of a variety of well gut loaded insects (I suggest the use of many different types including meal worms, wax worms, butter worms, silk worms, crickets and even live pinky mice(very new born mice) if you can find them).  Additionally, decrease how often you handle the leopard until the tail begins to regrow and has gained sufficient size.  It will also be important that when you do handle it you make it feel safe... don't grab it when you pick it up, rather slide your hand underneath and let it walk around on you... avoid restricting it's movements as much as possible.  If you find it to be very active when you attempt to pick it up, don't as this can cause additional stress and increase the chances of the gecko leaping out of your hands and falling causing injury.
