I've heard of several ways...including just soaking in warm water for a while...to get off un-sheded eyecaps. Gently rub a little baby oil on it, use scotch tape and just stick a little to the eye cap and carefully peel it off, raise your humidity and see if your bp will do the rest on their own...The most common and highly reccomended though was to just leave it alone. It should come off in the next shed, and you won't risk hurting your bp
