Did you check the head skin to make sure none was retained? If completely shed and she still gapes, then perhaps she may be in early resp infection. At this point if she'll still feed you're in good shape. Make sure she has access to the low 90's (belly heat). Raising the temp a little may nip this in the bud. If she doesn't feed, particularly on a live food item offered in the evening, then she should be looked at by a herp vet.
