These geckos have a large head, thick body and a short tail that is comprised of two distinct segments: a broad base and a short slender section, separated by a fold of skin. Many people confuse the original tail for one that has been regenerated. Under certain conditions, leachianus can detach their tails if threatened, startled or grasped by the tail. This defense mechanism does not harm the geckos, and their tails will regenerate, though they will look different than the original. They are not likely to lose their tails due to handling; more often, it occurs during quarrels with cagemates.
