    Unshed Eye Caps ?

    I was going through the photos I just took when I noticed this one, the eyes dont look right, I looked up unshed eye caps on google and couldnt find any good pics so I thought I would ask the folks here for an opinion.

    Bump up the humidity and see if it comes off in the next shed.

    Mist the cage once a day and/or put him in a rubbermaid with 2 inches of water and put a lid on it for 20 min. Come back and let it should be easier to get off.. be careful not to directly touch its eyes.

    next time his stomache turns pink, let the humidity go up to around 80. the higher the better. as soon as they shed clean the enclosure so they r dry and nice and warm
    A room full of empty racks and thermostats that have been unplugged.

    Thank you for the ideas, I have the humidity up....hopefully it wont be long until the next shed and they will just come off on thier own, hopefully.
    Since I have bumped the humidity up his eyes are looking better, the caps are still there but they arent as dry so I hope they come off soon.

    Re: Unshed Eye Caps ?

    i had the same thing happen to my snake, let them soak for an hour the gently wash them with an wash cloth, i didn't mess with the eye caps cause i got bit last time i tried! the next time mine shed the caps were gone he had them for about 6-9 weeks then they were gone.

    Bad shed? No problem. check this post by tigerlilly its what i did and it works
