    eye cap problem.

    With one of my bps he always leaves his eye caps on, even when he has a perfect shed. What can I do to get them off? I have heard mineral oil works but I have never tried it and wanted to know if it is safe to use.

    Re: eye cap problem.

    Mineral oil is worthless.

    If there is any stuck shed (even eyecaps) put your snake in a rubbermaid container with tepid water for 1 hour a night until the shed works itself off.
