    Problem with shedding.
    My male ball python has been having difficulty shedding, hes basically gotten everything off now, BUT. one of his eyes still has the skin shed on it.. and its on there good. i tried gently sliding it off. and it doesnt work.. :/ I was hearing that it can cause blindness. im worried:please:

    Multiple layers of stuck shed could potentially cause blindness. Just correct your humidity issue and leave the caps alone. They will come off with the next shed. The humidity should never be lower than 50%, and when it goes into shed again up it to 70%.

    60% humidity all the time, 90% when in shed.
    He won't go blind.

    You can try to soak him for a bit in warm water and place a rubber thumb protector over your thumb and coat it with mineral oil (you can get these from wal-mart or most drug stores) and gently rub across the cap.
