[gecko]prehensile tail?

[Camille Thompson]

I am redoing my henkeli's tank, which meant moving him temporarily, a 
process which is almost equally stressful to both of us (almost--he'd 
love to bite me, but I don't really think I'm in danger of being eaten! 
Of course, neither is he, but just try telling him that!)

Anyway, he curled his tail around my finger at one point and I was 
impressed by the strength in it.  I don't know if he could support his 
whole body weight with it, but I'm sure he could support a significant 
part of it. 
Are any geckos truly prehensile tailed?  Has anyone observed uro's using 
their tails to help hang on?

Just curious.
Camille
