Question

What do i do when my snake is trying to get the skin off of its eyes?

Answer 1

along with raising the humidity, add things to the tank he can rub on to get the skin off, limbs, rocks, ect... and try not to handle him too much after he sheds, they are real touchy for a few days after they do, imagine having new skin, its very sensitive.

Answer 2

If your snakes is just shedding, do nothing, it will come off. If your snake is having trouble shedding his eye caps, you'll want to soak it in warm water and add some humidity to the cage.

Answer 3

What I did once was use a piece of scotch tape wrapped around my finger and I tapped the tape against my other fingers until it was just barely sticky and VERY gently touched the tape to the eye and pulled the eyecap away. But do this only if you are capable and cautious.

Answer 4

Do you mean it's having trouble shedding or are the eye caps stuck?  Try letting him soak in shallow warm water.  Put a towel on the bottom of the tub so he can crawl and rub on it.  Put a lid on the tub with air holes--a rubbermaid storage container makes a good soaking tub.  Give him about 15 minutes in it.  The humidity should help loosen stuck skin.  Repeat daily as needed.  Shedding problems indicate too low humidity.

Answer 5

soak him in warm water
