get a small tub or plastic container, ice cream bucket, Tupperware, ect. fill it 1/2 inch or so with room temp. Water should not come any higher then 1/2 up the snakes body. Let it soak for 1/2 hr or so and see if they come off. If they don't come off hold the snake firm behind the head, do not hold it to tight that you strangle the animal but firm enough that it can not just pull its head out of your hand. Then with your other hand gently rub the eye with the tip of your finger (DO NOT USE your finger nail).
This should do the trick,

Scotch tape wraped backwards(sticky side out) and lightly touch the cap. It should pop off. Also increase humidity to prevent in future.

My vet recommended using a q-tip after soaking.
