Update:
Her shed is stuck on her two front legs and from about the base of her back legs down. I've been keeping her in a humid hide and such, (and after a couple of days of her not getting anywhere with her shed I decided to help her shed). Also, she hasn't pooed since the last time I said she had a little one. I am very worried about the extent of the stuckshed and I'm concerned about imapction still. Is there anything else I can do for her, or at this point is contacting the vet the best thing I can do for her?

I would contact the vet for sure I think this is probably more than something that can be diagnosed over the internet. In the meantime you can try putting her in a tupperware container with air holes poked in the top and warm wet, not damp but actually wet, paper towels close it up and put her it over her heat mat to create a little sauna, keep an eye on her but wait for about 10-15 minutes then use a wet qtip to help remove the stuck shed. Good luck I hope you can get it figured out please keep us updated.

I regret to inform you all that this will be my last update... I took her to the vet and found out she had widespread gout... There's nothing they could do for her, the only possible treatment has a 10% survival rate and in her condition I would most likely just be prolonging the inevitable, so I made the decision to have her put down... Thank you all for your advice throughout this.
