some lizards can "drop" their tails as a defence mechanism, but those that do have a tail that nevver fully grows back. depending on how much of the tail broke off, they might have enough to lose more of the original tail, but usually the second tail isn't much more than a deformed stub, which doesnt have the ability to "drop" like the first one.

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.

What will happen if your lizard's tail gets cut off?

Lizards, as a method of self defense, will drop their tails off if they are extremely scared. They do this so that if they are being chased, the predator would try to eat the tail while the lizard escapes. The tail does grow back, but it will take some time.
