It looks as though she might have had some ecdysis (shedding) trouble. I have seen similar situations in other python species. you can clean the area with a mild disinfectant. An experienced vet will be able to give you some more suggestions.

Is the animal still feeding regularly? Any other health problems besides the tail?
