    Any other suggestions on how to help her shed completely? all Info is definitely appreciated.
    I think that if you get a large (!) plastic food container (& cut a doorway in it) to use as a humid hide, that would help a lot. You need to completely soak sphagnum moss,
    then pour off the excess water (spritzing doesn't cut it); the humid hide needs to be big enough for a lot of moss + the snake. If it's near but not right over (or under) the
    "hot spot" so it's warm but doesn't dry out too fast it will be used by this snake a lot.

    As far as right now & helping her out of the rest of her shed: a damp terry towel for her to be wrapped in for a while & rub against will help greatly, both for humidity & friction.
