Helpppp 1st shed of my ball
Hi all, as a new owner i came back yesterday to discover a shedded skin,wet newspaper which i think is urine and his motion!
After clearing them,this morn i discovered that 1 of her eye doesnt seems to shed properly. There are some leftover skins on her mouth which should be fine i reckon but the eye is the worrying part.
Having read about the damage unshed eye cap may do,should i just leave her alone or try to remove it for her? Here in my country there are no vets for reptiles..

Ok thanks alot! It seems scary...

It is possible that the eye cap will come off, but if it doesn't the eye may become infected. If you choose to remove the eye cap, sometimes wetting you finger then VERY VERY carefully touching the eye cap, the eye cap sometimes sticks you to you finger and comes off, if you don't want to do that, directly misting the snake will help A LOT, hope this helps!
