Q: Crested Gecko Tricks

This is just a silly, nonimportant question, but does anyone know if you can teach crested geckos tricks?  I saw a tokay gecko doing tricks on YouTube, and I was just wondering if my crestie could maybe do something like that...

Cresteds are as dumb as rocks compaired to tokays.

Lizards can learn tricks?  That would be pretty cool.

I'm with Kate - cresties are WAY cute, but NOT way bright...Tokays are smart-smart-smart. I suppose it's possible, but I'd bet on "highly unlikely" myself

I'd just like to teach a Tokay not to clamp onto my hand every time I try to hold it. 
And, yes, they are among the smarter (pound for pound) of the lizards ... they always seem to be trying to figure things out ...

I've seen a few geckos that could be manipulated enough to probably do some "tricks", but nothing to the extent of the Tokays on youtube!
