    Update

    Just in case this helps someone in the future, here's an update!

    i attempted the moist paper towel method for about 24-36 hours. It helped to make a few more small scraggly pieces start showing themselves under her belly. I decided it still looked like she needed help so I went ahead and did the warm bath in the plastic container WITHIN my enclosure. I added a rolled up rag in the center of the box for her to rest on and have something to rub her body on. I also added just a FEW drops of olive oil to the water to help with softness. I didn't need to soak her for more than 30 minutes and she had already managed to remove 90% of the stuck shed. After taking her out, I let her slide through a warm wet rag to get any last pieces off.
    Unfortunately she still has some stuck shed on the top of her head including one retained eye cap. I tried removing the eye cap gently with a q-tip, but had no luck. I suppose I'll have to wait until the next shed like some have recommended.

    So if anyone else ever comes across this post for the same reason, don't stress out. (Great advice from the previous posters!) It can be a longer process to finally see it start to shed in tiny pieces. At that point, a warm bath DOES help. Im looking forward to making a humid hide for her with sphagnum moss in the very near future to avoid this happening again.

    Thanks for everyone's help!
