Poor lizard

Autotomy (auto = self, tomos = cut) is the self-induced releasing of a specific body part. In certain lizards, it is the tail that autotomizes; in plethodontid salamanders (terrestrial salamanders lacking gills and lungs in the adult form), it is their tails, digits, and portions of their limbs. Lizards do not autotomize their digits or limbs. If your lizard's toes have are falling off, this is a serious medical problem that requires veterinary attention now. In a few lizards, it is pieces of skin that autotomize, a defense strategy known as "fragile skin."
Tail Autotomy
In lizards who have evolved tail autotomy as an escape strategy, the tail color, pattern and movements are often such that the predator's attention is directed to the tail: bright tail color, sharply contrasting colors and patterns, and stereotypic "twitching" back and forth as the lizard remains still or slowly repositions itself so as to launch itself away from the predator, are various ways in which such lizards may be identified. One notable exception is the species of legless lizards: despite looking like they are all tail, they can autotomize their actual tail (caudal to the vent).
Lizard tails separate at "fracture planes" that are regularly spaced along the length of the tail, either in between vertebrae or in the middle of each vertebrae. Just as tissue and skin grow to fill in a scratch, gouge or excised (surgically removed) tissue, so, too, does it regrow in those lizards who evolved autotomy.
Tail loss is costly: it represents a loss of fat and protein (energy), both that stored in the tail and that which is dedicated towards the regrowth of a new tail. During this time, young lizards especially are at higher risk for being preyed upon (there may be little or nothing else to drop). During the recovery period, they stop growing. If it happens to an adult, their reproductive life goes on hold, with gamete production stopped during this period.
Since color and pattern is so important both in predator evasion and in social communication with conspecifics (other members of the same species), the absence of a tail can affect the lizard's ability to survive and to find mates and reproduce. While autotomy is costly in terms of the overall loss to the lizard, it is apparently quite effective as a survival strategy as this defense strategy is fairly widespread through the lizard families.
Fragile Skin
Some lizards (some skinks and geckos) release skin rather than a digit, limb or tail. That part of the skin that has been grabbed by a predator is release. Such releases apparently happen only when the skin is seized, as opposed to tail drops in which the tail may be dropped before it is actually seized. This "fragile skin" trait is so well developed in one gecko that its scientific name reflects this trait: Gehyra mutilata (mutilated gecko).

Rest in Peace Odin!!! Your life may have not meant anything to those that abused you; but you meant everything to me. You will be missed my little friend.
