Most likely your crestie is in shed, give it a few days and make sure to mist. Usually you can see if shed it stuck on their toes, if this is the case, use tweezers to gently pull of the remaining shed.

We have hard water where I live, and the minerals tend to build up on the glass where I mist, and I notice that if the glass is starting to look cloudy with minerals, Gator has some trouble sticking. Just one possibility
