Hi guys, I just got my second garter. I actually ordered this one from an online rep store. I probably shouldn't have but I thought this would reduce the chance of the two guys being directly related (just in case of breeding down the line, not that I plan to yet but I like to think ahead).

The garter in question is a great little guy and was born late 2011(november I believe), but I'm concerned about its eye cap. I'm assuming this is a retained cap but all retained caps I've had in the past were clear. I'm also assuming its a retained eye cap as it has retained shed on its tail.





So I do need to name this little guy. But more importantly, could peoples give me advice as to how to precede with this eye cap? Best method to remove it or maybe leave it until the next shed. Being so young this shouldn't be too long. I'm also unsure how long ago it shed.

Any is appreciated

many thanks

Sam
