Med'Gecko species, right? Amazing lizards

...biomimetics scientists are keenly interested in the foot pads and their ability to gain traction and adhere on such a wide variety of surfaces/textures...
...Saw a show with some early robotics work trying to mimic their nano-textured foot pads. It is not sticky or suction, it's something like micro hooks that have nano hooks on them and the gill-like layering in the pad itself creates awesome surface area...
Coolest lizard I ever found here in the Blue Tailed Skink-->

These are somehow crazy fast even with those short legs

LOL ... uncommon, and the few times I got even close enough to try, they bloody teleport away-


Only reason I got this lil' beauty is because it climbed into the tent and got stuck!
...really dig that tail color, pics/camera fail to make it pop like it does in real life,... more metallic, lapis lazuli tones
