For all my years of snake keeping I never had an issue with stuck or remaining eye caps after shedding. One of my snakes has one. I just recovered from a wicked leg injury and just did not pay the usual attention to the snake. I have heard you can use scotch tape to remove the eye cap, mineral oil and cotton balls, or soak the snake and put him in a wet pillow case/sack and his motion inside the sack will remove the eye caps. Any new tips or suggestions that have worked well for you? The python is a retic, so removing the eye cap will be an adventure to say the least. Thanks for your reply. Bill
