It was hard to tell since she was wet. She had been in the cooler for 2 weeks. Eyes didn't appear to be cloudy and she has no mites either. If shedding should I warm her up and then re-cool afterwards or just leave her alone?

They sometimes shed during brumation.
Nothing special needs to be done.
Two of mine did earlier this month.

I was appalled to find my milks soaking in 50 degree water also but now just remove them after a day or so. I've never lost a soaking snake.
