Need help eye cap!!
Ok jazz my beautiful ball shed two days ago I was out with friends she had a retained eye cap on her left eye I'm soaking her right now I think I'll call my vet, (he has a big RTB in back) and see if he does reptiles I'll try the tape method after soaking I've never had her have this problem. Any help is appreciated!

My baby, Phred, had this happen a few sheds back and it was on both eyes. After posting a similar question on here, I followed the advice of a lot of people and just increased his humidity and left it alone until the next shed. They popped right off at his next shed. You may want to do that. Or try the tape thing since you are already doing that.

OMG, she is gorgeous! How big is she? OH, and I am glad the tape thing worked. I may try that if/when I get a stuck eye cap on one of my babies.

i would have left it alone until next shed.
if you accidentally rip off the eye cap that is in use, thats really bad. i mean, really really bad, ive seen pictures of it. it gets infected, dries up, sinks in, deflates, and the eye is gone.
you got lucky.
The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it. If you disagree, send me a PM.
The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

Re: Need help eye cap!!
Tape works 99% of time but is dangerous like above poster stated so I would leave it alone next time risking that 1% chance of loosing an eye isn't worth it

Re: Need help eye cap!!
Glad it worked out for you.
For a single retained eye-cap though honestly, I would not intervene. Fixing the husbandry problem and just watching that the problem takes care of itself on the next shed is likely all that needs to be done.

This. Mine had a retained cap from a shed about two weeks ago. I just kept her humidity up and figured that she would lose it the next time around, but she actually lost it a day or so ago.

Re: Need help eye cap!!
Hi,
Just joining in to say I would not recommend the tape method. The risks V's the rewards are just too high.
A damp pillowcase with moss or damp paper in it is about as far as I would go.

Risks Derek?
It was stated in this thread that it's 99% effective. I'm sure there is real science behind this number.
