Is it ok to leave on a stuck eyecap?

[Toad37]

I've kept lots of "stressed" (rescued) snakes so let me explain a little more. It's not so much WHAT you do, but HOW you do it. I've found that when I stay calm & just
focused on helping a snake (with whatever challenge), it's almost like they 'feel' it & know you aren't trying to hurt them.

I've actually experienced this. One of my bps is very head shy. He doesn't mind handling just doesn't like it when you get too close to his head. He had a retained eye cap (and a lot of stuck shed) on him when I got him from his previous owner. I soaked him a few days after having him to get the stuck shed off and that was the one and only time he was completely content with me getting near his face. I VERY gently used a wet wash cloth to remove his eye cap. It's almost as if he knew I was there to help him out.
