	Day Gecko: WhoZoo
		Geckos are typically found in a milder climate with an average temperature of 65 degrees F, and with a 50 - 85% humidity level.
		Since the geckos have setae on the bottom of their toe pads, they are capable of climbing glass walls and walking upside down on a ceiling.
		Geckos wiggle back and forth when they walk because of the fact that in order to lift their foot from the wall surface, it must curl each toe upward from the front to "unhook" its villosities.
