A possible cause is vitamin A deficiency. Both skin problems and a susceptability to respiratory ailments are in the list of symptoms.

I had a corn snake that was shedding every two weeks. It cut back to 4-6 weeks after a couple of treatments with a bird liquid multiple vitamin from the local pet store.
