Re: eyecaps, yes I've done that before. When I first got this snake, I had to put it in a humid container a few times when it shed.. to aid in the process
Also they had it with NO heat but an overhead lamp that was not even on when I got it. and a container of water that was about a cup size...and almost empty so no humidity in there.

I have a Rainbow Boa, a jungle carpet python, a western hognose (CB), and I do have other BPs now..
that have all come from breeders and were/are being quarantined.
Just got paranoid about my older snake but thought that surely by now it would have shown/died..
just came across some article last night that freaked me out!
