The small lizards known as geckos are fun to watch as they move about. Geckos are great climbers because their feet stick to many surfaces. Each of its long, flat toes has thousands of tiny hairs. At the end of each tiny hair are hundreds of even smaller hairs. These hairs fan out to create a strong sticking power that lets the gecko move along areas where many other animals would slip. Geckos usually come out at night and feed on insects.
Some people keep geckos as pets. One of the most popular is the large tokay gecko, which is gray with red and whitish spots and bands. It is possible that a gecko may live 20 or more years when kept by people.
