Best Answer

Some lizards such as geckos can crawl on the ceiling because the skin on the pads of their feet contains material which acts as suction pads. They don't actually have suction pads; they have thousands of hairs on their footpad. Each of these hairs then splits into hundreds of smaller nanohairs which create an electrostatic attraction with a surface.
