    Re: Really stuck eye cap

    If I were in your shoes, I'd let it be for now. I'd make sure her humidity stays cranked up (she sounds like she's been in a too-dry environment for awhile before you got her)...and give her a chance to get settled into her new home and feel secure. Keep an eye our for her next shed cycle and make sure she has all the humidity she needs, but do NOT soak her prior to the actual shed.

    Just being in an environment with the proper humidity may allow her eyes to return to their normal, shiny, unwrinkled appearance. If there are, indeed, multiple stuck caps, she may rub them off herself over time. And if she has a chance to give you a good, clean shed, she'll take them all off at once.

    If, after her next shed, her eye is still looking a little bulgy and wonky, then I would recommend seeing a vet. (Sorry, I don't know any to recommend! If you have a local zoo or something of that nature, they may be able to recommend a vet who deals with exotics.)
