Shedding help!!!
my yearling GTP was having a shed cycle right as we were moving which stressed her out to no end and though her whole body shed she has the skin on her head and eyecaps still attached.
I upped her humidity hoping she would rub the shed off and I gave her a week to do so with NO luck. Using a wet Q-tip I gingerly rubbed her head and the skin started to come loose. Getting close to the eyecap I gently tugged on the loose skin after wetting it and freaked when I saw the cap move thinking I almost yanked out her eyeball. I was able to clear the cap from her eye but there is residual skin surrounding it and I am too freaked to do any more to it. I know when my bull snake had a retained cap I popped it off with the edge of my finger but Jade is so delicate still.
I haven't done any damage to the eye itself as far as I can see. It's not bulging or anything like that
I know some keepers use a specific eye drop to help remove eyecaps. and I was wondering if anyone knew what is was called also if anyone had any idea how to help her remove the remaining skin that would be amazing.
