    What's your husbandry like? Temps, bedding, humidity, etc.? What type of enclosure are you keeping her in? Tank, tub, cage, other...? It sounds like a crappy shed is all from too low of humidity. If that's the case, mist her cage/terrarium/tank/tub/whatever to bump the humidity. How are you measuring your temps and humidity? (or are you?) And what are you using to heat things? Sometimes heat lamps/ceramic heat emitters can zap the humidity pretty quickly, so you have to keep an eye to make sure it's up where it should be to prevent bad sheds. You might read these threads over and start from there:

    What makes you think she's dying? Is she in distress in some way, losing weight, passing unusual feces, something else? The worst thing you can do is freak right now, so take a few and collect yourself and keep your head about you. If you really think she's in danger, take her to a vet. If it's just a poor shed, look over the threads I posted and see if they don't answer some of your questions. If she's truly in danger, the first thing would be to find a vet, not refer to an internet forum, no matter how helpful. If it's just the shedding issue, that can be fixed pretty easily. Good luck and hope that helps!
