Great idea.
Turns out I didnt need to do that this time. I misted is head a little when I put him back in his cage and he knew what to do. He went to work and an hour later the entire shed was off including the eye caps I've been fretting over.
Whats funny is that I never knew I'd be so affectionate towards my snake but I am, and even more so that he came from a "troubled" home, I'm glad he's with me now and being treated like he should be and is happy now.
