    Retained Eye Cap

    While feeding Nova this evening I noticed she had a retained eye cap.
    I'm fortunate as there is a small piece of head shed attached to the cap.
    Should be an easy removal.
    Sorry about Nova's dirty face.

    A warm, damp micro cloth and the retained cap is off.
    Nova wasn't to happy about the process but it is done.

    Re: Retained Eye Cap

    Just noticed this morning that this female Red Sided garter (T.s.parietalis) has a retained eye cap.
    Since it has been on for awhile I will wait for the next shed to take care of the problem.

    *Update*

    This is a strange retained eye cap or should I say partial retained cap on the above T.s.p.
    Anyone ever seen this before?

    Whoa that looks really weird. What might have caused that?
