Like Doug wrote, use mineral oil. You can dip a Q-tip into the oil and rub it around the eyes. If there are any mites in there, a few tipically get stuck to the Qtip. This also suffucates most, if not all of them too. If she has a bad infestation you would almost certainly be able to see small black dot looking insects cralling on her and lodged under her scales(especially the ventrals). It doesn't sound like she is infested to me.
