First off....what kind of cage do you keep him in and what kind of heat source are you using.

Are you 100% that there is an eyecap & about how long ago did the snake actually shed? If your snake always has bad shed then your either not providing him sufficient humidity or have another husbandry concern. Continue with the soaks & check out this blog by Emily which shows an awesome idea to assist with bad sheds.  http://iherp.com/Public/Blog/Detail.aspx?UID=147433

Some folks will advise you to correct the issues causing the poor sheds & leave it be until the snake sheds again. I personally dont like that option because I think retained eye caps could impair the snakes vision if left untreated for a certain amount of time. A few others will recommend LIGHTLY & GENTLE rubbing the cap with cotton swap that his moist with mineral oil. Never use anything sharp if you do go this route. If the snake has had a suitable amount of time to remove the cap itself & you knwo it needs to be removed but your not comfortable doing this for fear you'll hurt the snake & have no one experienced around your area I see no shame in getting assistance from a vet as an option as well. Better safe then sorry.

Also are you feeding live or f/t? I ask this because feeding a sopping wet rodent right out of the defrosting bin does WONDERS for hydration.

"feeding a sopping wet rodent right out of the defrosting bin does WONDERS for hydration."

Pretty smooth George - I never heard or even thought of that before but it's an awesome little trick. I'm actually impressed & will have to remember that tip. very nice

I do actually know what I'm doing from time to time.

I just pat dry with a towel. Otherwise they go in dripping. Only time I have shed issues is in the winter and the heat is on. But not much you can do about that.

Emilys blog is great because while you may be soaking him you may not be giving hime something to rub against. Idk I'm only speculating. And I asked about what you use for heat because if it's a bulb or CHE then you are drying the tank out.

I also feed wet rodents, I don't pat them down, though, which works for me since I keep mine on paper. ; )

Thanks <3 XoXo

First and foremost - check all of his temps, housing, etc... Make sure you are within the norms of a happy BP.  However, I would heavily advise against pulling off any skin you see on your snake, as this may harm the new skin underneath.

My BP hates a bath.  I just get some sopping wet sphagnum moss and stuff into her warm hide.  Snakes are smart - they'll rub off the shed :)

Also, for future hydration help, I'm warming up to defrosting a mouse and leaving them drenched (but slightly patted dry).

Let us know!

+1 on wanting to know its heat source and set up. If it's a bulb or ceramic heat emitter, for example, those can be very drying. 

Need to know environment. Have you tried upping the humidity for a day or two to see if she can get it off gerself?

As a last resort, I soak mine in a tub of luke-warm water for 20-30 minutes with the lid on and a washcloth inside for something to rub on. After the first round of soaking, I take the washcloth from inside the tub and VERY gently glide from front to back in one motion over each eye. If it doesn't easily come loose, they go back in the tub with new luke-warm water and the wash cloth sealed up tight for another 20-30 minutes. I try the washcloth one more time and it will usually come off. If it doesn't, I up he humidity in their enclosure for another few days and they will usually get it off naturally. Only one time have I ever had to do a complete second round.

Yeah, yeah....  I get it.

To really help we'll need more info about the environment.  To answer the question about removing a stuck eye cap though, you can just a q-tip or I just use my finger and gently rub it off.  I've heard of people using a rubber coin counter as well.

He is in a 40 gal. breeder tank that has a Monsoon Eko Terra humidity system attached.  I bought it after a few bad sheds.  I use a night-time heat lamp on one side of his cage with a large, raised flat rock under it for basking.  The lid of the cage is mostly screen.  I could try covering up one side?  He has plenty of driftwood and rough and smoother rocks that he could rub on.  Emily, Sky loves baths!  At shedding time, he loves to get in the tub with my son.  It is so cute!

Honestly, you will continue to see poor sheds as long as you have a screen top and are heating with a bulb. Both are very drying. The best thing you could do is to switch to an untertank heat pad on a thermostat and totally cover th e screen top.

The next time I go to town I will invest in undertank heat pads! Covering the screen top as best I can (don't want to start a fire) right now! Thank you!  I read Emily's blog, and will make a croup tent this evening.  If it isn't cleared up in the next day or so, I am taking him to the vet. Poor snakey pakey wakey.
