Retained Eye Caps

Hi guys, new to this forum. Just got a Ball Python from this random guy, looks about 3 to 4 feet long so I am guessing its a little older. I took the snake because I saw that the kid didnt take good care of it. I am doing what I can to change its life around.

Anyways to my question, I see the python has some shedding problems, and feel like he has not shed his eye caps. Before I do something to get the eye caps off, I would really like to see a picture of a ball python that has and has not shed his eye caps. Just so I can verify.

Thanks guys.

Try some tips found here if it is eyecaps...http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...tained+eyecaps

I can't offer pictures, but unshed caps will clearly present themselves in the form of dimpled eyes. Hope that helps, and good luck with the rescue!

Cheers,

They can also look like little eyelids at the top of the eyes...sorry I don't have any pics.

Scroll about half way down, that is a retained cap.http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...%3D2%26hl%3Den
