Hopefully you got to a vet by now, but if you didnt, try betadine--you can get it at any grocery or drug store--mix it with water until it looks like dark tea and apply generously.
Check your humidity and heat to see what might be the cause.
Best of luck

thanx dana.
the vet gave me some baytril antibiotics and some antiseptic body wash he seems to think i was over feeding her and the crickets were biting her while she was asleep. im monitering her feeding now and removing the excess. thankyou once again for all your help
