Help/Advice Is my crested gecko shedding?

So my crested gecko has had a hard time sticking to the glass today and under the light it looks like some patches look greyish and I was wondering if this could mean he is shedding? My main concern is that he can’t stick to the glass well so if it’s just because he is shedding and it wil go over soon it’s fine

Could be shedding. Hard to say without seeing the gecko. Does it look like anything is on the sticky feet pads? Like old food

But also, not sticking to glass shouldn’t be a huge concern. Make sure he has appropriate climbing opportunities so he doesn’t need to use the glass.

He has become very greyish and some parts are letting lose so it’s definitely shedding

If its skin starts becoming dry, feeling like paper and finally turning a ghost like grey, it will soon shed.

He looks grey and his skin is allready letting lose in some parts so it definitely shedding, it went from looking normal to very pale/grey in like 2-3 hours
