Shed problem!

My adult cornsake shed fine, all but her eyes. All the old skin came off but the eye skin is still on, so she still has semi cloudy eyes, what should I do?

Get a pair of tweezers and very carefully remove the eye caps.
If this makes you nervous you could just try using your finger nails.
It is possible a damp cloth may work also but I'm not sure.

If your a clutz like me try soaking a pillow case or cloth bag and putting your snake in it overnight in its cage.Make sure part of it is over a heat source.The moisture and movement will take the eyecaps right off.
