Sounds like she may have stuck shed on the bottoms of her feet.  Or she stepped in food...  If you up the humidity in her tank for a few days it should come off, or else try giving her a "bath" (see this video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSuirE906p0).

I agree with sparkle. I have two crested geckos and ever time they shed they cant stick to the glass for a couple of days. If you do give them a bath and help them shed be careful. If the shed isnt ready to come off it can hurt the gecko. Good luck :).

I've also noticed they loose there stickyness when they wern't fed a proper diet. What have you and the previous owner been feeding?

Sparkle and reneelavender hit it on the head. After he sheds he'll stick just fine.

This should come off easily so theres no need to worry! Just take a deli cup or container put a wet paper towel in it. ***NOT TO MUCH water OR YOU CAN DROWN YOUR CRESTIE*** put you crestie in the container and gently spray him/her with a spray bottle! Then close the lid and leave your crestie in for 10-15 min. Do not leave him/her alone! After words take your crestie out and roll a cu-tip  on the bottom if him/her feet and it should be sticky again!!!??
