He also recommended the flagyl, or Ivermectin- I think right now the flagyl would be easier for me to get my hands on- He was also saying if she's very loaded with worms, and they're all killed quickly, that it could lead to sepsis... Anyone on here have any experience with that?

I want her to have the best shot she can have, and still calling around trying to find someone who'll do exotics that I can get to- I'm fairly secure that with what I've been told I'll be able to help her, but I'd feel much better if a vet could give her an honest look over...

Now- with reptiles who aren't eating, sometimes it's a good thing to up the heat a little, sort of jumpstarts their metabolism as long as you're keeping them hydrated, and keeping them at the right humidity, and are making sure they're getting nutrition.

Not sure if that's ok with her, and I forgot to ask the vet-, would making it a little warmer be ok so long as her humidity levels remain ok? I just tried to call him back, but he stepped out on an emergency call and they're not sure when he'll be back. (He does large animals too- and farm calls you never know how long they'll take.)
Yes definetly raise the heat to at least 84 degrees. If you give her a worm medicine that will kill all the worms suddenly or instantly it will put her into septic shock and may kill her. An antibiotic with the Flagyl will help. Instead of soaking her in it an oral treatment may be needed which you do by seringe. You can open her mouth with a mini credit card like the shopper cards. Getting a seringe of it premixed from a vet but it comes with directions for mixing so that should be fine. Consulting a vet is best when it comes to meds. Use the cat/dog food to force feed her. Suck it up in a seringe open her mouth and squirt it in. She'll probably love it.
