My friend has just adopted a 7 year old Royal,he's about 3' long and having seen him,he seems to be in good health other than one thing,he's obviously not long shed as he still has a few bits of skin attatched to him that he needs to rub off,but also,i've noticed his eye caps haven't come off with his shed.How can she resolve this or will they come off in time?Any advice greatly recieved.

You could try being very careful with a damp cotton bud, or allowing the snake to slide through a damp towel.

or you could try the 'female' approach - a little more thought rather than going at it like a fast thing on a fast day.........

preparation is the key here!
damp hide and mist the viv for a few days to help soften the stuck bits THEN as above!!
