You want to make sure its fragrance free to avoid any alergic reaction. I keep one in my snake room.

I had a rescue years ago that came in with retained eyecaps and was told this trick and it worked like a charm. You could soak her too but most snakes wont put their heads under water for very long.

I would use the lotion for a couple of days and if it dont fall off then soak her in warm(89) water, NOT HOT or cold water, for a few hours.
What if it's not a retained eyecap?

Unless the OP is 100% sure this a retained cap and not something else, he shouldn't be doing anything with the eye until he actually identifies that there IS a problem.
