Tail-dropping question

I've noticed that a lot of seasoned breeding crested geckos have dropped their tail, and I understand why. But is there any way to prevent it from happening? I think the stub look is cute and all...but I kind of like my crested gecko's tails intact, and I'll be adding their male into the female tank in about a week. Any tips? The tank is huge, so there is plenty of room for 4 crested geckos, along with lots of hiding spots. Is there anything I can do?
