hi, if you still worried that there may be skin on his toes etc, take him out and place in a cricket tub with damp tissue or moss. Keep him in this overnight, this 'forced' extra humidity should allow the gecko to clean itself fine, if not you will be able to pull off any unshed skin the following morning.

I will have to have a closer look at mine to see if one of my males has got a similar problem - haven't seen him shed recently, but for the past week or so, he has not seemed to have any stickyness on his pads and mainly sits lounging about on the floor of the terrarium (substrate is orchid bark btw)

I tried putting him in a cricket tub with moist kitchen rool in it and left him there overnight - His pads still dont feel that sticky. If I have him on my hand and tilt him slightly, he slides Confused
Apart from this he seems ok, I cant see any unshed skin stuck or anything.
