Yeah, I'm kind of skeptical about this to be honest with you. Looking at the pics it does seem as though they could do that, but it really looks like some sort of uber sticky "suction" pads. I don't know how to describe what I'm thinking.

Geckos like Cresteds, tokay, phelsumas etc have setae on their feet as well. If t's do have silk coming out of the feet I do think thats pretty awesome. Although the setae acts as suction cups. That's why the arboreal geckos can climb up vertical surfaces. Perhaps it's the same for the t's as well. Silk or no silk they're awesome.

That would also explain how T's can climb the way they do. Does the setae leave a residue?

I dint beleive so. That's why I am pondering the silken help. I know the setae are like individual hairs that adhere to the Individual microscopic grooves in surfaces. Man still has not been able to replicate setae.
