Sorry- the gecko had gotten tangled in a dust bunny out under a table in the garage and after being captured, was a bit wiggly and not in the mood to be cleaned off or have his picture taken. Not even just his foot!
These strange-looking toes enable geckoes to move about on improbably smooth surfaces such as glass, as well as the ordinary rough stone or concrete surfaces all lizards can handle. As you can see, the gecko’s surface-clinging adaptation is a totally different mechanism from that of the tree frog.
Anyway, once relieved of the dust bunny, the gecko went on its merry way unharmed.
