What do stuck eye caps look like?

[patm1313]

I just got my first BP, and was wondering what eye caps that are stuck after a shed look like. His eyes are almost a solid silver, and his last shed looks like it was bad, as there is still some shed pieces on him. This leads me to believe his eye caps may be stuck.

Any help is appreciated.

They will look a little cloudy, more irridescent, crackled and creased, possibly dimpled. But remember an eyecap can be crackled or creased a bit and not be a stuck cap. Most people will tell you to get the humidity dialed in, wait until next shed, and they should come off then. I wouldn't fuss with them unless it looks like there are many layers causing an issue.

Yep, it looks like he has his eye caps still on. As soon as I see signs of his next shed I'll raise the humidity. and let him shed them off.
