Fruits are a good thing to give. Mix it up with ground turkey or whatever your giving cookie to get that day. Keep the humidty nice and high..80's-90's. And Nice warm baths maybe ever other day. My aa last full shed took about 15 minutes...

Zilla makes a product called Shed-Ease that you add to water and soak your reptiles in. Works wonders, I suggest you invest in some.

CLO is just oil from a Cod fish. It can be any type of fish oil that's okay for them to eat. If you can't find fish oil then go straight to the source and add seafood to the diet. You can also add fruits, and what ever animal liver available to you for the same issue.

Food also helps but take a while to see the effect.
