Do you mean they lost their tails? Its a defense mechanism where when they are scared enough they drop their tail in hopes that the predator will instead go for the wiggling tail instead of them. Cresteds are one of the few geckos that will never regenerate their tails, some people don't like them without them - but it poses no danger to the gecko if he/she has dropped it.
