They do not - and not many lizards can climb smooth surfaces. The pads on the lizards that can climb glass are covered in millions of tiny hairs/bristles and the ends of these have a tiny spot of liquid - like an oil. The phenomenon that is used to enable them to climb smooth surfaces is surface tension. The reason for the ability to climb smooth surfaces is that they are then able to exploit more habitat - like large shiny leaves.

Why do lizards crawl on ceiling?

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.
