Is my bp a little strange??
I dont' know if the two snakes can compare, but my gopher had a pair retained eyecaps after his first shed with me. I just left them alone and within a week, he'd rubbed both of them off himself. From everything I've read, retained eyecaps are only dangerous if they are retained for multiple sheds, building up. If a gentle technique like the "damp-towel" trick doesn't work, then I would just leave them alone. All those suggestions about tweezers and tape just make me shudder with the risks!
