Stuck eyecaps

[geckochick]

Hi everyone! I haven't been on in awile.
Now I have a problem. I did a quick search.
So to make a long story short:

I left on a week vacation, left the balls in care with my brother and came back to my girl with stuck eyecaps. This has never happened before, but she is a bad shedder. He says the humidity was up to par the whole time but who knows. I just need to know what to do now. I assume soaking would help. any other suggestions. Thanks

I really don't like to mess with eye caps, there are just too many ways you can hurt your snakes eyes. I treat them like any other bad shed. Put them in a damp pillow case and put them back in their cage and check on them later. If the eye caps don't come off, I just leave them alone until the next shed, then I make sure they're well hydrated and mist a lot the next time they turn blue. 99 times out of a 100 they'll pop off with the next shed. Snakes don't rely as heavily on their sight as we do and it's not as big of a hardship for them to have impaired vision for a while, but it can be a bigger problem if you damage their eyes trying to pull the caps off.
