Default Royal Story/Problem...

Got a lovely female royal of a fella 2day...she is a normal about 4ft long. I seen a guy advertising a royal and viv for a motorcross bike...i offered him my old minimoto and he was happy enuf to go for it. He gave me a vivexotic 4ft viv, everything for the viv including a thermostat, hides etc etc. The viv is like new and the snake is in fantastic condition. Though there is one problem...as i was having a look over her i thought her eyes looked abit strange. It cud possibly be eyecaps but then i dnt know if its just the snakes normal eyes. If it was eyecaps how would i be best goin about removin them without damaging the snakes eye? Will they come of easy enuf? I cnt even tell if it is eyecaps or not. Im gona take her down to the reptile shop and c wot he says before i do anything.
