Every time the animal sheds, every single piece of that shed needs to come off from nose to tail tip.

    Yea I'm with crook on this one, I think the end of her tail is done. I would get her in to see the vet as that probably needs to be removed. I have no experience with this in snakes but have seen people not take care of this with bearded dragons and it caused an infection that ended up killing the animal.
