    Question Help with stuck shed eye caps

    One of my bps had a bad shed about 2 days ago and ive givin him 4 baths in 2 days and got pretty much all his shed off except his eyecaps.

    Im currently doing this: http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=43403 so ill see if this worked out in about an hour or so but does anyone have any tips or anything to get the eyecaps off just in case this dosent work?

    Re: Help with stuck shed eye caps

    In the future, if it is only one set of eye caps and they don't come off fairly easily, just leave them alone and make sure you keep the humidity high for the next shed and they should come off.

    Also keep your humidity around 70% during a shed cycle to prevent stuck eye caps all together.

    I use a washcloth, but it's all the same. Just be easy going over the eyes.
