    Help about ball pythons eyes

    Just keep the humidity in the 70s for a few more days see if that helps if not then get a damp rough towel, let your BP slide through it while you apply gentle pressure, this should remove any stuck shed.

    The two main places that are cause for concern are the tail and eye caps when it comes to stuck shed.

    Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

    Are you 100% sure the eyecaps came off? If they did then there should be nothing to get off of the eyes. If it's possible that one or both of them may not have come off then you may be looking at a retained eyecap like SRM said.
