My three year old royal has retained some skin on both of her eyes from the last shed.
I have tried increasing the humidity to help it fall off but it has been a week now and it has not come off. What is the best and safest way of removing the skin without causing any damage to the eye. I was thinking something soft like cotton wool soaked in her water dish for a few seconds. thanks

You could try (very, very carefully) with a cotton bud, or just wait to see if they come off with the next shed or add a moist hide.

Ok i might wait then i just wasn't sure about whether u could leave the eyes until the next shed because of infection. i have some moss so i could make a hide for her or put some in one of her existing hides. Thanks very much
