Nice for the eyecaps I usually just look at the shed most of the time if its a good shed their on the shed, me ive had it cause the shed was dry and they fell off 😅 worried me a lot when I didn't see them on there. Now if you don't have any eyecaps on the shed just look at your snake; if you see wrinckles on your snake then eyecaps are still on. I wouldn't suggest you do this but if eyecaps are left on then use tape (scotch) just resting it on the eye and pull off. Most will tell you to either go to a vet or leave them till next shed they should come off but if not then definitely vet. I'd also feed at night use a heat lamp to warm them 1:00 on the body as a whole and then 30 seconds just on the head depending how close it is to the light or what light you're using. Sorry about being so long. Hope everything go's good for you abd your wonderful BP! ☺

this was all wadded up in his hide..

That may be tricky but I think I spot some eyecap looking pieces in there. Like I said as long as he doesn't have wrinkly eyes you'll be fine.

Stuck eye caps will appear dull to milky compared to the new skin. I had to pop one off my boggy after I got her. I just started at the top of her head a swiped toward the top of the stuck cap. It grabbed my skin and popped right off.

I would not try anything unless you are certain you have a stuck cap, especially tape. I would never do that. But that's just MHO.

I feed mine at night and or evenings and it seems to work very nicely.

I see absolutely no wrinkles crystal clear pretty. The piece on his tail pulled right off. He is all over the place I think I’m gonna try and feed him tomorrow. Since he shed I feel like he may want some dinner…
thanks for input..

Ya sorry ritche, I've been typing on the fly. 😅

Here is a pic, one eye cap for sure ..i have read where they may be hungry after a shed. He ate during his shed, but do you think I might up his feeding day to today? He usually eats on Wednesday.
