I had this happen as well, and I hope it happens again tonight! (see story below) I got a "narrow saddled" boa, and it had mites (which I was able to rid her of). There were some that were in the skin under the eye. She did not bite, but pulled away and hissed when I tried to secure her head. Finally I was able to secure her head and gently roll the skin and push out the mites. That must have felt ALOT better, because when I did the other eye, she did not flinch one bit.

Funny you should mention this. My OrangeTail Hypo male shed and left the skin from the top lip to the neck, including both eyecaps. I have to take care of this tonight. I may get a good chomping tonight!
