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.

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.

Re: Retained Eye Cap
*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?
