I could be shedding again. Young ones shed often, they're growing like weeds. Dirt, particularly dust or powdery substances can interfere with the lamallae's ability to adhere to the glass, and so can water. Chances are though, if it's a healthy gecko, he's going to be shedding.

Well i washed the tank and it stuck pretty well even though i misted the tank alot b4 i put it back in,i guess its dust of something,my substrate is papertowels,but after i mist it usualy gets droplet markings on the side of the tank maybe that could be it???
