For snakes that are having a problem shed like such I will soak them on a daily basis myself. Somethimes twice a day even. Just soak for about 1/2 - 1 hour in warm water. You can actually use either the water or gatorade/pedilyte stuff, no need to though unless she is actually dehydrated though. Right after you take her out of the soak..let her run thru a moistened washcloth, this may help the shed to come off also. You can also try gently rubbing the skin to help loosen it off of her at this time too. Just rub it with like your thumb , sometimes this will help to separate the skin and remove it also.
Do you have any pics of her available at all ? [ for sizing] In regards to the feeding...You could actually move her up to full grown mouse if she's not tiny. Just make sure that her girth is as big around as the mouse and she should be able to eat it no problem. Also move her to a 7 day feeding schedule too. Try one mouse for now, but if she's been taking 2 you could offer 2 of them and see if she'll take it in feeding. I wouldn't go anymore than 2 prey items atm with her, never more than 3 total in a feeding either. By increasing her prey size and moving her feeding schedule to a closer proximity you should see her not acting so hungry.
Like Countryboy said . the type of cover on the cage will make a difference in the humidity factor in the cage. Assuming that you are using a standard screen cover for the cage... Try placing either a towel or some plastic over about 2/3rds of the cover. That should help to keep some humidity going in the cage also. A bowl of water on the warm side , with a covering on the screen on that side and misting the cage should help to raise the humidity in the cage. Make sure you also keep a bowl of water on the cooler side for drinking though too.
