    I think that if she have multiple layers of retain eye-caps you should make a trip to the vet. to see what you can do without hurting her like the last time. :)
    or also the other thing that i would do while going to the vet is scrubing the eyes with a wet towel.
    hope this can help :wink:

    IS IT BOTHERING THE SNAKE? OR DOES IT BOTHER ME MORE LOOKING AT IT?
    I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE A REPTILE VET, HOW SHOULD I CHOOSE A GOOD VET FOR MY SNAKES?

    Actually if the snake have to many retained eye caps she can't see really well or in the worst cases can causes blindness so actually is bothering the snake as much that is bothering you just looking at her. :cry:
    You can search on the web for one close to your area. Or you can go to the closest cat and dog vet that you have and ask him for a good exotic vet. if he is a good doctor he will recommend you someone that can help you if he don't know how to work with reptiles.
    hope this help :D
