The term 'sticky-toed lizard' is a reference to the GECKO, a species of small reptile that is known for its ability to climb walls and ceilings due to its specialized toe pads. The GECKO has five toes on each foot, which are covered in microscopic hairs that allow it to stick to surfaces. This adaptation has enabled the GECKO to become one of the most successful lizards in the world, living in a variety of habitats and climates.
