    Re: is thi normal ??

    Not quite sure what u were trying to say..but I'll answer to what I think u said lol...your female snake shed and she still has her eye caps, right?
    First, I always check their shed to make sure they have come off. If they have not, try soaking her for about 10 minutes, try this for a day or two,
    if it doesnt help...take a piece of scotch tape and wrap it around your index and middle finger, sticky side out. You may need help holding her to do this, so grab a friend. Hold her head firmly, and have your friend hold her body, GENTLY roll the tape over her eye until the cap is removed. Repeat on the other side if needed. I've had to do this a couple times, and it doesnt seem to be hurting them...hope this helps

    i have never heard of retained eye caps on a carpet. just wait for it to shed.

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say, either to be honest...

    But one thing I DO know for sure is that you really shouldn't put tape anywhere near your snake's eyes... I doubt that even experienced herpers would suggest that.
