Get a snake bag (or pillow case) get it damp, but the boa inside and tie it off. Put the bag with boa inside back kin the cage to keep it warm.

Does she have a good damp spot to hang out in? With the school rainbow boas, they have a large tupperware container with a hole cut in the top and soil along the bottom, that we spray with water every day. I use something similar (but smaller) for my corn snakes, and they never seem to have shed troubles. Good luck!
