Stuck eye cap question.

Keep us posted

Soaking him would be a good plan of action. Let us know what the vet says

good luck

The vet started the treatment for the RI but the culture swab results haven't come back yet. I'm making a little progress with the eye caps and the breeder I took him too couldn't get them off either. Vet didn't even want to try to take them off. Now I'm stuck between keeping the humidity low and heat high to help battle the RI or keep the humidity and try to get the caps off. I figured for now keep humidity either normal or low to help fight the RI. I have f10sc on the way and I do plan on doing a home remedy on top of the treatments. For the caps, I am going to wait until I notice he is in his shed cycle and focus on higher humidity then and hope he gets those caps off himself. I think it is only one layer, two at most because they are softened up a little and moving around and in the right light I can see his pupils. Anyone see anything wrong with what I am doing or a different way to go about this? Stuck caps and an RI at the same time is a pain, especially when it's my first time dealing with either. I just want this snake to be healthy and feel secure and I'll do whatever it takes.

focus on the RI issue first, as i've never heard of a snake dying from stuck eye caps.

Humidity should be high for the RI as well. It helps keep the mucous soft so the snake can expel it.

Think about how good it feels to take a hot steamy shower when you're congested.

When i have stuck eyecaps, i hold a damp paper towel over the animals head and work them off carefully. Works every time

I thought humidity should be high for that too but a lot of sources have been saying keep it low...sort of conflicting when it comes to that

So he went into blue today. I almost missed it because the cap kind of didn't show the color all the way but I noticed it in bright light. Looking pretty dull too so I'm crossing my fingers he sheds off his caps and can finally see...
