Your best bet is just leave the eye alone until the next shed. It doesn't hurt the snake to have one retained, and you run a real risk of doing much more harm than good.

If I remember correctly, she is a self proclaimed expert on everything with scales! When actually, she knows very little about any, and consistently purveys incorrect information... Actually pretty dangerous, if you ask me.

Yes. Melissa claims to be an expert, but a lot of her husbandry and care advice is potentially dangerous. Like take that link the op posted for example. She said use tape to take left over shed and eyecaps off.
Can you imagine if some newbie used a really sticky type of tape like packaging tape on a reptile? That's going to pull off more than left over shed.....

Hey thanks for all the replies to this thread! I had not heard of her either, but glad to know she's not respected here.

She's also AGAINST keeping reptiles and I believe is a supporter of PETA.
If you're bored, head over to Fauna and search her name. There's a very long thread about her from several years back.
