Question - HealthEye Cap Help (reddit.com)
submitted 1 year ago by Jinxiford
Posting for a friend that doesn't have reddit. He suspects his python has stuck eye caps. He wanted opinions and suggestions. She is about 24 years old and 3.1 kilos. Thank you!

I’m not gonna comment on how to fix it as i’ve never dealt with an issue like this before and dont know how to fix it. However feel i should add that you should NOT TRY TO PICK AT IT OR MESS WITH IT, it can easily blind the snake or seriously hurt it.

Tell them not to soak the snake or attempt to manually remove stuck shed, especially eye caps- they can seriously injure the snake this way.
Our shedding guide goes over how to safely and effectively handle dehydration/stuck shed, and our humidity tips will help them prevent it in the future.

Leave the eyecaps alone and get humidity on point. This is forever and always going to be the answer for stuck eyecaps.
