Trouble walking on walls

Hello, I’m new to this forum...I have a lined day gecko.. and she has started having troubles walking on the walls. She seems not able to stick like she used to. I’m not sure if any of you have seen this before...if you could possible tell me what would be the cause that would be great...

It’s most likely her shedding. They temporarily loose their stick anywhere from a day to three before a shed, and get it back afterwards.

Ok thanks...I will have to keep my eye on her to see if she sheds...because she can still stick just not as well, like she starts sliding down the glass.

Trouble walking on walls

it could be a few things..
1 as said above shes getting ready to shed
2 if you feed her a nectar diet she may have ran through it and has food on her fet
3 the humidity isnt staying high enough
