Unhappy Phelsuma Grandis Lost Grip

Unfortunately I cleaned my terrarium and took off the water deposits on the glass with a razor and they have seemed to lost their grip the glass may be to smooth. when do geckos re-gain their ability to stick? or do iI have to wait till they shed?

What did you clean the glass with other than a razor? Any chemical cleaners? There have been a few threads over the last couple months about members having their geckos lose their stickiness. All the geckos shed within 2 weeks of the topic being brought up. Give yours a few days and it'll probably shed

Never have I used or ever will use chemical products to clean the terrarium nor will chemicals and my geckos' ever come in contact with each other.

Krush has regained her adhesive touch but King has not and he is stressing because he buckles under his own weight :/ which is becoming hard to see for the 4 days it has been going on now. His color is tinting which means he is definitely stressing.
