    There is no way to tell until after the shed is completely if the eye caps are going to be retained or not.. In my opinion, that vet doesn't seem to know very much. The eyes get cloudy when they are shedding and they kind of look like retained eye caps, but if your humidity is right they should come off with the whole shed.

    I would NOT use mineral oil on the snakes eyes. If I remember correctly, the oil will cause the top part of the scales to start flaking off and it will make a mess.

    Aussie- I agree with the information that you quoted, but you didn't ask or add anything- was there something you're trying to ask, or just agreeing?
