    it's been about a month and a half since she shed last. both of her eyes are the blue color, they weren't as blue as this before she shed they were slightly blue this is a picture of when i first got her 3-4 months ago.

    the next time she goes into shed. belly pink... give her a soak and let her run herself through a wet towel. if that doesnt work A&D ointment has worked quite well with me. i have taken in a lot of rescues and its the easiest way ive found to remove a stuck eyecap. no tugging or pulling or rubbing of the snake's eye. its way easier on the snake and on you.

    Yes just leave it until the next shed cycle and make sure the humidity is correct and they will come off on thier own. Don't try tape or anything else just time. Soaking is fine a the earle shed stage but not at the lator. When the skane is milky skinned and blue eyes soaking can make things worse. The milky colouring comes from a secreation between the layers of skin and it is slippery and water soluable if you soak you can wash that away and cause shed issues.
