Dancing Geckos?

Check out this gallery.

Very interesting images. I assume the photographer posed them climbing on a glass panel or thin fishing line, but I can't spot it.

Didn't you realise that the defence mechanism of Eublepharis geckos was the Argentine Tango? They dance so poorly that even a hungry predator can't bear to watch and is forced to cover its eyes, at which time the gecko makes good its escape. This is well documented, I'm surprised you weren't aware of it.

Yeah, well, I'm really more of a snake guy. Of course, I am a big fan of the Gieco gecko.
