    Eye question - Normal? Before shed? Stuck eye caps?

    Recently got this little girl. When picking her up didn't notice this (possibly because of bad lighting) but does this eye look okay to you?

    i'd guess there's probably a retained eye cap on there due to the other pieces of stuck shed on the body. you can use a wet Q-tip to try to gently remove it. if you can't get it off, just ensure the humidity stays around 70% during the next shed and make sure it comes off; if it doesn't come off, you'll have to intervene.

    Just tried using a q-tip, no luck! Will try with a damp towel tomorrow to see if anything comes off, if not, will wait until the next shed...Thanks
