DWA eyecap removal?

[Joe So]

I was watching a youtube video of a nice viper and the guy talking was on about removing an eyecap from one of his DWAs after a bad shed.. I'm just intrigued asto how you manage this safely with such a rep, any ideas?

You would just have to keep it restrained behind the head and remove it the normal way you would a non-DWA.

Do it carefully!

Soak a cotton bud in mineral oil then use tongs to hold the bud while dabbing over the retained eyecap. Leave overnight then use the same method to gentley rub away the cap , only this time with a cotton bud moistened in luke warm water.
If this fails repeat the procedure.

Cheers,
Al

some people, modify tubes so that they can keep the animal restrained safely and remove the eye cap through a small hole in the tube.
