| | Dr Gecko: Leopard Gecko Behaviours |
| | Geckos should have some type of a rough surface in their enclosure to assist with the shedding process (avoid porous rocks through such as lava). | | | Leopard geckos do not normally search out their food items but tend to be more opportunistic in nature. | | | If you must keep multiple geckos together, make sure they are all the same size and that the enclosure is large enough to provide them with ample access to all the necessities (food, space, hiding areas, activity areas). |

| | While most geckos use their tongue to catch flying insects, the Leopard gecko uses its whole jaw to catch and crush the insects. | | | Geckos mate by standing sideways and wiggling its tail, sniffing the female cloaca. | | | Given enough insects to eat and the right climate to survive, geckos will live content for about 5 or 6 years. |

| | Sticky Secrets of the Gecko / Researchers have finally unlocked the mystery of the small lizard's remarkable climbing ... |
| | Many other gecko species sport similar footgear, but the Tokay is considered to have the most elaborate feet of any lizard known, possibly the most advanced dry-adhesive technology in nature outside the insect world. | | | Their feet sport tiny spines or hooks, supplemented by sticky secretions in some species, that work extremely well on nearly any rough or porous surface, even if the surface appears perfectly smooth to the naked eye. | | | Researchers have discovered that a Tokay gecko can climb a vertical wall, stick upside down or even cling to polished glass without benefit of suction, sticky secretions, electrostatic forces, friction or Velco-like interlocking. |

| | Most geckos have sticky toe pads, composed of microscopic Velcro-like hooked bristles (called setae) on the bottom of the feet; the bristles allow them to climb well, even on smooth surfaces or upside down. | | | They eat mostly insects (like crickets, springtails, and cockroaches) and mealworms, but they also eat young birds, eggs, and tiny mammals, hunting for their prey at night. | | | The eggs are soft at first, but harden quickly. |
