    Eye Caps?

    Hey everyone its me again going crazy!
    Well I did what everyone said I should do and that was to soak my BP and then help with the shed! I did that and he went crazy while I was soaking him he was jumping out of the container and it was only like 85 in water temp. How can I tell if his eye caps are off? I couldn't find em and I don't think he has them on his head still so how do you know? And the tail I think I got it all off by I really don't know if I did! Should I soak him again and try again?

    Some snakes like a soak and others don't; seems like yours didn't
    You can see if there is any skin left on tail.
    As for the eye caps, I always check the shed to see them. I would not worry at all about the eye caps- if they did not come off, they will during next shed!!
    Just make sure to visually inspect the body and tail tip for anything stuck and just get it off with your wet fingers!!

    Well the tail looks like Its okay and especially where he poops from I tried and I believe that I got it all off. My only real worry I guess would be his eye caps. I looked and looked and could not find em and I even touched his eyes to make sure but nothing so I guess they came off!
