Have you ever watched a gecko creep effortlessly up a glass tank wall, then suddenly walk upside-down on the ceiling? It looks almost magical, like gravity doesn’t matter. You might wonder, how do geckos climb on everything? Geckos can climb almost any surface because of tiny structures on their toes called setae. These hairs use … Read more
You’ve probably noticed this before: you put a still cricket or worm in your gecko’s tank, and it just sits there, ignoring it. Then you wiggle a live one, and suddenly the gecko springs into action. It makes you wonder, do geckos only eat live food? Most geckos really prefer live food, but some will … Read more
You’ve probably seen your gecko snap up a cricket or a moth in seconds. It’s fun to watch, so quick and focused that you might think bugs are the only thing it ever eats. But is that true? Do geckos only eat insects, or do they enjoy other kinds of food too? Most geckos mainly … Read more
You might have seen your gecko licking the glass walls of its tank or hiding in a damp corner and wondered, “What’s going on?

You might have seen a little gecko dash across your wall or ceiling and thought, “Wait… if it falls, does it get hurt?” It’s easy to assume a tiny lizard dropping from a branch or the ceiling would get injured.

If you’ve ever owned or seen a gecko, you might’ve wondered something pretty wild, can a single gecko really make babies on its own? You’ve probably heard about certain animals, like some sharks and insects, that can reproduce without a mate. So, does that happen with geckos too? Could one gecko really start a whole … Read more
Have you ever watched a gecko sprint across a smooth wall and noticed how sometimes it looks like it’s running on just two legs? It’s a strange, surprising sight, and you might wonder, is that really how geckos move, or is it just the angle making it look that way? Most geckos don’t normally run … Read more
You’ve probably seen a gecko dart across a wall and disappear before you can even blink. It’s almost like it teleported, right? But just how fast are geckos, really? Can these little lizards actually run fast? Most geckos can move surprisingly fast for their size, some reaching about 5 to 6 feet every second. They … Read more
If you’ve ever been sitting quietly at night and suddenly heard a strange little sound (something between a chirp, a squeak, and a short bark) you might’ve looked around wondering where it came from.
