Not to take anything away from Vets,but most of them do not keep and breed snakes.If you are sure it has a retianed eye cap soak the snake over night in warm water(just enough water to cover the snakes body)and then take scotch tape after it has soaked and press it to the eye and peel off.If this does not work after a couple of trys you will have to wait for the snake to shed again.When it clears from the blue and is about to shed it needs to be in a very damp cage so that it can absorb enough moisture for a complete shed.For future reference you should check shed skins for both eye caps.Terry
