    Re: Why to Check Sheds

    So, I've known they shed their "eye caps," but was just thinking, does that mean they have skin over-top of their eyes? Is that their version of "eyelids?"

    I'm not sure if this answers your question but I found this on a snake fact website..

    "They do not have movable eyelids, but transparent caps called “brille” as protective eye coverings. Their eye movement is fairly limited."
