Certainly could be. The process involves muscles contracting and basically slicing vertebrae in half to prevent blood loss, so maybe it's more difficult if you have to slice through all the fat layers. I'm not going to test the theory to see how much of a tegu's tail can fall off, lol. I've also been told that iguanas drop their tails slightly differently from other lizards.
