    Doesn't really look like eyecaps to me either. The ones I've seen easily spotted as they made the eye look wrinkly and clouded or hazed over. Those just look like her eye. For future reference, I always check sheds for eye caps and the tip of the tail so there is no question.

    ^^ This. Sometimes retained caps will even collapse or indent, but they will look cloudy or hazy, just like when they're in shed.

    Thank you guys, he went into shed right after I got him so I could not remember if his eyes were a red tint originally or if this pink tint was right. I felt they were red but gut instinct is not always right. His first 2 sheds were not good sheds at all so I couldn't find a eye cap in his tank, I tried to go through all the shed but it was to much. I'm hoping his next shed will be much better with his husbandry being well.
