I'm a Janie come lately here for this thread, but our experience has been good with our Tex, similar to what Rob C outlined with regard to a damp snake bag.

After misting the cage heavily for a day or two, we drenched a pillow case in warm water. For warm, at least ambient room temp - here in USDA zone 10, that's usually 80-82 degrees F or above. Tie the bag up. He may polish away the retained eye cap as he explores the bag.

More recently, we noticed that the Tex had a retained eyecap when we were literally on the way out for the weekend (Friday). When we got home (Monday afternoon), the eyecap had shed, with no intervention whatsoever.
