Heya I have just got my new royal and it looks as if he has a retained eye cap... I was just wondering what the best way of sorting it out would be?

Thank you
Emma

Wait and see if Graeme chimes in with any other advice. I think he has Royals.

yeah will try it when settled and up to temperature... we broke down as a puddle flooded the car and he bought the snake to me i had a quick look and chat and asked him he said it was and i said i would sort it out :)*9*/

Let us know how you get on. Close up photos would help.

Did you not check or ask the seller when you picked up?

Edit: You can try the damp pillowcase once he's settled and up to temperature but leave for a few more settling in days before trying anything else.

I would try a damp cotton pillow case and leave him in that for an hour or so. The raised humidity plus the squirming against the pillow case might get it off.

Before diving in and scrubbing with a cotton bud or anything else, please read this topic on the Royal Python Forum first. Then read it again.

Are you sure it is a retained cap, you don't sound too sure.
