    Possible stuck eye cap?
    Kaa just finished shedding a few days ago and for the most part it was a great shed. After the head, the body came off in one nice piece! After inspecting him I noticed on one of his eyes what appears to be a stuck eye cap (to me, I've never seen one before).

    I didn't want to mess with it in case of causing him harm and let it be - hoping it would fall off on it's own. However, when I got back from work today and went to hold him for a bit, I noticed it was still there. Below are two pictures I took of it. Sorry for the quality, all I have is my phone camera.

    Any suggestions on how to go about getting it off? I haven't done anything to it thus far, not wanting to cause any stress or trauma.

    As far as attitude goes, he doesn't seem affected at all. He's still acting like his normal teddy bear self.

    Just leave it be, a stuck eye cap won't hurt anything and isn't worth the stress or chance of injury removing it.

    Just make sure the humidity in his enclosure stays high and the next time he sheds it should all come off in one peice, eye caps and all.
