i should have made it more clear, tape method is used as a last resourt. i have only used this for eye caps that are opaque. again i appologize for not stating to use caution with this method, but deffinately DO USE CAUTION.

thank you rainbows-r-us for making it more clear, thats why we have these forums.


>>Unless you're certain there is a retained cap, and it's loose, IMO, scotch tape seems unwise. I'm no expert but scotch tape to the eye.....ouch!! I know it's a "scale" but ouch, what if it's not ready to come off?

>>Over the years I've pulled a few caps. All were on BRB's and all came off farily easily. I've never used any kind of tape.
>>
>>I did "rescue" a BRB two years ago....stupid people, she's the best colored BRB I've ever seen..... She had crusty eyes and skin from lack of humidity. Took a several sheds for the skin and eyes to return to normal.
