    Gorgeous girl. I love pins!
    I would go your route and just leave the eye cap on. One layer of eye cap won't hurt her. If she doesn't shed it off during the next shed, I would do what the others here have been recommending. Messing with eyes are tricky, especially if you don't feel comfortable doing it.

    She's a beautiful Pinstripe.

    Here's a very easy and SAFE way to help a stuck eye cap. Put a dab, like a single drop, of clear mineral oil on the eye and put her back in her cage. By this evening, the eye cap will be gone. That single drop of mineral oil won't hurt her a bit and she'll then easily be able to rub the cap off herself. Waiting til her next shed could result in a double layer of eye caps stuck in which case you have to find a way to get them off. Helping her out now will prevent you having to do it with more difficulty later. The mineral oil is the safest, least invasive, and most effective way I've ever heard to remove an eye cap and it's worked for me several times with great success! :gj:

    Please keep in mind that many keepers no longer think the use of mineral oil for this purpose is good for the snake.

    As always, your mileage may vary.

    If the pillow case trick doesn't work, I would suggest leaving it alone. Make sure your humidity is good to go for the next shed, and the problem will very likely correct its self.
