Stuck Eye Cap...

[giaach]

Never had this happen before but it seems that Kingsley has a stuck eye cap on his left eye. I can tell because its sorta bubbled in the middle(as in detached in the middle but the rest is stuck) I tried soaking him and I bumped up his humidity, should I worry about it, or just make sure it comes off next shed?

no need to worry just yet, you may want to try sticking the wee fellow in a box with a wet towel for a couple of hours if it is not long after post shed and there is a good chance it will come off by itself as it nosies around.

otherwise it should come off next shed, but next time if its still there bump the humidity up pre shed after the eyes clear up after blueing.

He shed last week thursday. Is it too late for the box trick?

yes its doubtful it will come off like that now, and unless your used to dealing with stuck eye caps its best to leave it til next shed. You can still try it however its not impossible, depends how dry the environment has been it has been moving around in, if its still quite moist there is a chance it will come off but tbh doubtful now by its own accord until next shed

Dont worry though just remember to boost the humidity next time round and check it over following the shed.

No need to panic friend.
