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

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
