hey i have a really really bad shedder at my work...shes an olive is about 5ft long and i mean sheds about 1/4 of her skin, its been about 3-4 days since she actually comenced her shed, ive sprayed a reptile skin moisturiser on her from australian reptiles and it looks as she is leeking blood?? i dunno if that makes sence but also her cloaca(anus) is about 1cm stretched...if that makes sence...

in other words shes a mess!

can anyone help me on a diagnosis??
 
yeah we have a vet her but shes not exactly snake smart, no offence to her...i can prob take some fotos on my fone and post them 2nite coz im working atm. when we brought her she was really scarred i mean prob 60-70% of her body had superficial scarring from burns (previous owners didnt cover lights) do u think this could b a cause?
 
Yes. It could definitely be a cause.
Take her to a snake smart vet.
 
they tend to shed more often if they have injuries like burns to aid the healing process. your bes bet is to go to a vet
