    Not sure if this is a stuck eye cap, opinions?

    Hey People,

    So my snake just shed for the first time in my care and im noticing that her eyes still look a bit cloudy. I am not sure if her eye cap is stuck. Can you take a look at this picture and tell me what you think? I don't want to try to remove something that isnt there! I just want to be sure.

    Hard to tell by the photo.
    Does she normally have jet black eyes?

    I don't fool with eye caps, it's too easy to make a mistake and remove the actual eye lid, which can eventually blind your snake.

    Keep the humidity high and your snake well-hydrated, and it will either come off on its own after a few days or it will come off with the next shed.

    I used the flashlight option on my iPhone to get a good look at Ginger's eye caps. Leave it alone - it'll shed off the next time.
