I did think about the barrier aspect during and after I posted and that is correct.

The Vasoline must work by breaking down the dead skin on a molecular level similar to it's effects on latex condoms, etc.

How ever it works, I know through experience that it does work. I've used it safely and successfuly on various herps with excellent results.

I've never had an eye cap problem when an increased level of humidity is offered while the snake is in the blue until he/she sheds out, and lots of items in the cages for them to rub against.
