A gecko’s feet “adhere” to surfaces by a weak intermolecular force call Van der Waals force. For Van der Waals force to be of any consequence the molecules between the two surfaces must be extremely close. A gecko’s foot has millions of hairs called setae. The millions of setae are not visible in the photo. The ends of his little setae divide into millions more setae. The surface area of each “sub” setae is so small that it is at near molecular size and will “adhere” to the molecules of whatever – anything other than Teflon.

Oh, I am just a treasure trove of information. Seriously someone just sent me this in the last week this obscure fact that I thought I would never do anything with. Imagine finding something to do with this fact. Just made my day!

I was sitting on a porch over 15 years ago with a friend begining to tell her about this strange thing that was happening to me and i continued to tell her that it seamed every where I was going I was having visits from gecko’s, She gasped and opened her mouth i, frightened said whats wrong, she pointed up above my head and there for the firs time she had ever seen one in her yard above my head was ,Yes you guesed it a gecko. I think they like me.
