Geckos can walk on walls due to van der Waals forces, which are weak attractive forces between molecules. Their feet are covered in millions of tiny hair-like structures called setae, which increase the surface area in contact with the wall. This allows geckos to exploit these forces effectively, enabling them to adhere to and traverse vertical and even inverted surfaces with ease.

How do geckos climb everything?
Not all geckos have setea on their feet, but those who do are able to scale almost any surface known to man. They are able to do this using the Van Der Walls force. Similar to that of a suction cup.
Geckos and the ability of climbing walls?
Geckos have many tiny pads on their feet that help them scale walls. This type of technology is used in products for humans too, such as types of adhesives.
Do crested geckos have suction cups?
Crested geckos have millions of fine hair like structures on the bottom of their feet called setae. These millions of setae use the van der walls force in order to use molecular forces to grab and pull to surfaces..
Can leopard geckos climb walls?
Not glass, or anything smooth like most geckos can. Their feet are made for dry desert terrain.
What are two facts about leopard geckos?
1) they are reptiles. 2) they walk up walls
Do leopard geckos have the very fine hairs on their feet that enable them to stick?
Leopard geckos are one of the few geckos that don't 'stick' they have little claws instead this is because in the wild they dont climb walls only rocks.
Is it true that geckos are attractive to lightning?
No, geckos are not attracted to lightning. This belief may stem from the fact that geckos are commonly found on walls where lightning might hit, but this is just a coincidence and not because they are attracted to lightning.
Why are not attracted to the wall by gravitational force?
Humans are not attracted to walls by gravitational force because walls do not have sufficient mass to exert a noticeable gravitational pull on us. The force of gravity is proportional to the mass of an object, so walls, being much less massive than the Earth, do not exert a significant gravitational force on us.
Geckos walk up walls and across ceilings how?
Geckos have billions of invisible hairs on the bottoms of their feet. These hairs are called spatulae and they work sort of like Velcro. This allows them to walk up walls and across ceilings. The more humid the air, the stickier the hairs get.
What are storming walls?
The walls are not storming; they are being stormed. "Storming the walls," said of a fighting force, means "rushing en masse at a defended fortification," while "stormed the walls" means "overwhelmed the defended fortification."
What is responsible for creating the pressure exerted by a gas?
The pressure exerted by a gas is created by the constant collisions of gas molecules with the walls of the container. These collisions result in a force being applied over an area, which then gives rise to the pressure of the gas.
What is the reason you feel a pulse?
This is the force of the blood being pumped in an artery pressing against the arterial walls.
