I haven’t time to read through all the replies so someone may have suggested this ...
I’d get a very wet /damp rough textured towel ( warm water -not cold or hot ) .. then wrap the snake up ,have it on your lap and let the snake slither around in it as long as possible... whenever it’s head pops out simply cover it up again ..
Anyways whilst it’s slithering around you can apply very , very GENTLE pressure to it’s head region and the retailed eyecap / eyecaps will normally just come off onto the towel.
