You could try putting a damp hide in with her. Just dampen some sphagnum moss and pop it in a hide. That will raise the humidity which should help.

After just 1 day I wouldn't really worry too much, sometimes sheds don't come off in one big go, nothing major to worry about, if it's not off in 48-72 hours then maybe try a warm shallow bath?

she was too squirmy to be put through the towel so i left it damp and put in in her faun so hopefully thatll help her

she is a bit too small for even a small towel so any other smaller alternatives?

Start off by letting her slither through a damp, not wet, towel, that quite often does the trick.
