Have a young dumeril that is healthy but left single scale on right eye. Have soaked and tried papertowel to loosen scale without success. Any other thoughts?

Try lightly touching it with some scotch tape.

Thanks! In this situation there must be only a fragment of eye cap, it in fact that is what I'm seeking. We tried a long soak without luck but I may try again or just see what happens the next shed.

You might want to wait till the next shed. they will often come off then.
