    maybe you can put a small wooden log/branch or a rough rock in the enclosure for him to rub the old skin off.
    you can use substrates like coco husk and cypress mulch to maintain good humiditiy in the future. i use kritter's crumble (coco husk).
    another tip is that humidity will be much easier to maintain in a smaller enclosure (like a tub for example), as moisture does not dissipate easily in smaller space (with less ventilation of course). just be careful to monitor for mold or fungus in the subtrate while keeping high humidity, but a few days won't be a problem.

    i hope others with more experience like this can help you out, especially on the one stuck eye cap.
    wishing your snake a speedy recovery!
    Id love to keep him in a tub as he was more active when I first brought him home in a tub, but after reading around it seems my ambient temps were not high enough! Even though the breeder I got him from said as long as he has a 90f hotspot then the ambients didn't matter? So therefore had to put him in a bigger enclosure with ceramic heat.... I have now added more into his enclosure including wood to rub himself on but I doubt he will use it as he doesn't really move! Unless I offer food in which he has been eating every five days since ive had him..... My humidity is 50-60% all the time so should be fine really.
    Thanks
