+1 to this. I inspect the shed skin every time any of mine shed. If the shed is dry and brittle, a light mist with a spray bottle of water will make it soft again (and a bit smelly) but will allow you to gently extend it, and unroll it to look at every inch. It is easy to see and feel the eyecaps when you get to them. The shed skin tears very easily so be gentle with the tugging and unrolling. This also prevents un-necessary stress to the snake from poking and prodding around it's head inspecting for eyecaps.Originally Posted by pretends2bnormal
Great to hear the first one went well!
If you can find the head end of the shed, you can see where the eye caps are. If they're present (aka, not a pair or a single hole at about the position eyes would be) on the shed, then she got them off and you don't have to worry about seeing her face.
