^^^
i thought this was a well known fact.

how old is this video?
is he wondering how they climb because he doesn`t know? or because he wants the viewer to ask themselves the question?

I`ve thought geckos were amazing since i was little. although how they climb is well known (what `hogo` said) they are still amazing creatures.

In the summers here in Texas I get hundreds of these little guys crawling around on my porch and I love every second of it because I know one of their favorite meals is those disease spreading whore mosquito faggots, god dammit I hate those things I hope they all die a painfully slow acidic digestion death inside my geckos.

I`ve recently returned from my hollidays, and it was full of iguanas. They search for heat sources, usually before rain, so leaving your window open is a sure way to get the house full of them. They vary in sizes, and mostly always cause girls to start running around screaming bullshit at you.
