    Weird Shed

    Last night my BP shed in one nice piece except for the top of his head and i think his eye caps. Should I give him some time to get it off himself, or should i try and give him a soak and peel it off?

    Thanks, Terence

    Check that out. If I was you I would try this right away. Not that its an urgent emergency, it just would bother the hell out of me.

    Most times, if you know the eye cap is still there. Don't try to peel it off. You can cause injury to the snake. They are capable of getting it off in the next shed.

    But if it is a dent on the eye, the humidity may be too low.

    If it bothers you enough, take the snake to a rep Vet and they should be able to get the eye cap off without injury.
