Frequently asked
How do geckos walk on walls and ceilings?
Geckos have millions of microscopic hairs called setae on their toe pads that use molecular forces to stick to any surface. Each foot has about 500,000 of these tiny hairs that can support the gecko's entire body weight upside down.
Why do geckos lose their tails?
Geckos drop their tails as a defense mechanism when grabbed by predators. The detached tail continues to wiggle, distracting the threat while the gecko escapes. Most species can regrow a new tail within a few months.
What do geckos eat in the wild?
Most geckos are insectivores, eating crickets, moths, beetles, and spiders. Larger species may consume small birds, eggs, or fruit. They're excellent pest controllers, with one gecko eating thousands of insects per year.
