Did You Know

"Crested Geckos (Correlophus ciliatus) have small fine hairs on their toe pads which allow them to climb smooth vertical surfaces. If you look closely, they look like they have eyelashes! They can lick their eyeballs to keep them moist and clean. They do this because they have no eyelids."
