Helping my BP shed

[mikeey17]

I recently posted that my BP was shedding in pieces (due to my lack of preperation I guess) and it was suggested that I soak him in some luke warm water for a while and then hold him in a towel and the loose pieces shouls come off. However only some of the skin came off, now he is completely shedded except for part of his head and neck. How can I tell if his eye covers(don't know what else to call them) came off, and should I worry about the rest of his shed or just let it come off when it cojmes off?

The eye covers make the eyes look milky...if you look at their eyes you can tell...

No need to worry ... just keep an eye on your humidity and it should all come off next shed.

i think he was referring to a retained eye cap, which doesn't look like an eye prior to shed, like your link shows. Like adam said no worries, just watch.
