There are a few things you can try. Here are some of the things I do that have worked very well:
- place the snake in a slightly dampened snake bag with several clean rags that have also been dampened and wrung dry inside the snake bag. The crawling of the snake over these rags will oftentimes do the trick.
- just heavily mist the cage with warm water....absolutely soak everything and if you keep heat on the cage overnight (within acceptable temps) you should see that cap off by morning. Or, if the cap is still on, the high humidity/damp conditions will usually loosten the cap to teh point where you can take a damp q-tip and just gently work the edges to see if it will slide off.
- soak in tepid water for 30 minutes (approx. 3" of water is plenty deep)
There are other methods but these all work very well.
