All geckos, excluding the Eublepharinae family, have no eyelids and instead have a transparent membrane which they lick to clean. There are also many species that will drop their tails in defense, a process called autotomy. Many species are well known for their specialized toe pads that enable them to climb smooth and vertical surfaces, and even cross indoor ceilings with ease (it is believed that the van der Waal's force may contribute to this capability).
