My post was asking if the flakey skin I was seeing was stuck shed from the previous owner or if it was my fault and that was ignored and the eyecaps focused on instead.

I don't understand the urgency to get one set of retained eyecaps off, the snake does not seem to be suffering any ill effects; he hides during the day, comes out at night, eats perfectly, handles very well, is gaining weight slowly but surely and hasn't yet struck or hissed at me.

I wanted to check that leaving them was in fact the right thing to do. Thanks guys. I'm more at ease now
Yeah some things do get hard and confusing because everyone has their own opinion that ranges from A to Z. You'd think you can trust someone that says they've had snakes for 10 years but that doesn't always mean they've taken proper care from them. It's good you came here as there are a high concentration of people who are very knowledgeable
