Sad story....please help!

[Crow]

Hey everyone! I could really use some help but first a little info about my day. I found out there was a reptile shop close to my house and decided to stop in and take a look around (I was actually looking for a corn snake). The conditions in this shop were so terrible I couldn't believe it. The substrate in just about all of the enclosures looked liked it hadn't been changed in months. There were multiple snakes being housed together in enclosures that were barely big enough for one and everything was incredibly dirty. As I was just about to leave I noticed a large ball python laying in an enclosure with feces and shed skin everywhere. The sign on the tank said that he was being housed with a burmese python and constrictor (they had already been sold). There was one bare light bulb (apparently for heat) and no water bowl to be found. There wasn't one single hide either. The poor guy still had half shed skin hanging off of him pretty much everywhere. I just couldn't stand it so I asked the idiot running the place if I could see him. The snake is missing part of his tail (idiot guy said a rat chewed it off) and has several bites on his back. As much as I didn't want to give this moron a dime there was no way I could leave this snake in his so-called care so I bought him. I brought him home, soaked him to remove the rest of the partially shed skin, treated him for mites (just in case), and put him in a 98 qt. rubbermaid with hides, heat, and water. The poor thing spent 5 minutes just drinking water. He's resting in a quiet room now.

My question is what to do about eyecaps? From what I can see he still has eyecaps from a previous shed and I'm not sure how to remove them or if I should even try. He's already been through so much I'm afraid of stressing him any more but I want to do what I can to help. Any thoughts or ideas would be very much appreciated!

Sorry for such a long post....I'm just very ticked off!
