I doubt it was lack of humidity. More than likely the gecko was entering a
shed.

Subject: Re: [Gecko] nonfunctional toe pads
> I bought a Gekko Grossmani from a petstore, and at the time of purchase,
he could not climb the glass in his tank at all. He would attempt to, but
most of the time he would just run into the glass or make it a little ways
up only to slide all the way back down to the ground. I began to mist one
end of his tank every night, and in a couple of weeks' time he was able to
climb the glass and stay up there all day. He now spends almost all of his
time on the glass. I have even moved him into a 20 gallon high tank, and I
think he is much happier now. I am sure his disfunctional toepads were due
to total lack of humidity at the petstore.
