How can I remove a stuck eye cap? Stuck shed?
Sometimes the simplest questions get the most bizarre, crazy, over-thought, over-engineered, and over-worrisome responses… I have seen posts on the internet about “how do I get off this stuck eye cap?” perhaps a hundred times. Instead of a simple, sensible answer, responses are laid out that come from all over the place, particularly left field. Whenever you are asking for advice on the internet BE VERY CAREFUL about what/who you accept as a “reliable resource”. Getting a stuck eye cap off of a recently shed snake is SIMPLE. First of all, if the shed has gone so poorly that there is stuck shed, consider soaking your animal for an hour or two to rehydrate it, it is probably fairly dehydrated at that point anyway. Ninety-five percent of the time, the stuck shed, including eye caps, will come off during the soak, or it will slide off with very little effort right after the soak. That is the simplest answer. If you will not or cannot soak an animal, then a dab of Neosporin over the eye,
