Removing Ball python / snake eye caps video

As I said before, if your Ball Python still has his eye caps on after his shed, you can just leave your Ball Python alone. They don't rely on their eye sight as much as they do with their sense of smell.

If you really want to remove your ball python's eye caps, have someone experienced do it for you.

Let me repeat, nothing will go wrong if your ball python has retained his eye caps after a bad shed. The best thing you could do is make sure his temps and humidity levels are all perfect. See our Ball Python Care guide for info on what the Ball python's cage should be.

Here is a video, if you ever have to remove your ball python or any snake's eye cap, demonstrating a good way on how to remove the eye caps. Never use tape, never use tweezers, never use any pressure or anything that could harm your ball python's eyes.





This man is experienced, if you aren't or you have shaky hands, just leave your Ball Python alone rather than risk him getting hurt or stressed. Again, nothing will go wrong if your ball python has retained his eye caps, so think about that before you decide to remove it yourself.
