What I would do is soak her in luke warm water for about 30 min to an hour, also try to gently massage her working your way down in combination with you bathing her.
Repeat the process as needed.
Also make sure the she is well hydrated and has access to clean fresh water.
If there is no progress a trip to the vet might become necessary as an enema might be needed.

You mention that she is in shed... They hold sometimes and do they business during/right after they shed a skin... if She is right about to shed 1-2 days I'll wait till it happen.. if she dont defecate I'll take Deb Advice....

Mine ALWAYS unload A LOT after a shed - like within 12 hours of shed. They are ALWAYS hungry 2 days after shed and start actively looking for a meal.

Yeah, if she's in shed expect a nice big surprise to be waiting for you afterwards.

Well the way she was bloated I didnt want to wait another day until she sheds.
I got some luke warm water and massaged her for about 5-10 mins and she let it out!
I heard gas escaping and then alot of urine and a couple very hard peices that popped out of her cloaca at a speed that made a noise on the plastic bottom like a pebble.
I examined the dark yellow pieces and they are hard as rocks, I cant crush them in my hand. Poor girl, I hope she feels better now that shes passed them. Hopefully these hard pieces was the problem of her not pooping and she'll be able to pass on her own now.
Can anyone give me any more info on the hardened pieces? Ive never had a snake with this problem before, or with poop that looked like this anyways!
Thanks guys I appreicate the help!

Generally when things are really hard, and they are bloated they are a little constipated she was probably a little dehydrated. Up your humidity , and make sure she has a nice big bowl to soak in when she wants. Sometimes it's helpful to put it on the hotside or it the middle so the water is nice and warm. Soaks are always helpful when they are shedding and they have to go.
