Yeah, there are quite a few BP's in the house now. I soooo got hooked on them. Missy has a bit of an attitude at times (she's the first ball ever that I heard hiss!). She never makes a ball, just the contrary: Comes up like a cobra and is ready for battle, but never strikes.
Dave: I make my own solution, but I suppose you could use something like shed aid as well. My mix: 50 ml clean, cooked water, 1/2 ts jojoba oil, 1/2 ts Vitamin E oil. Shake well, wait to cool down and shake again. I use a sterile cottonswab to dab just a little of that onto the eye cap, put the swab back into the pouch, wait about five minutes then use the cottonswab and CAREFULLY from the edge of the eyes roll it towards the eye to catch the edge of the eye cap that I can then simply lift off. Another way of removal (I had to use it on the rescue) after pre-treatment with the mix: Use a small piece of low (!!!) tack artist tape or artist masking film, put around middle finger, keeping the edges firmly in place between index and ring finger and quickly but carefully dab onto eye, pulling the eyecap off.
Better than any shed aid: Don't buy a snake that's in shed and provide your new addition with plenty of humidity.
