Try giving him a bath in luke warm water. I read from one person that you can try dabbing it with a q-tip soaked in baby oil but i dunno... so i’d get a second opinion on that. Though she also said its not a big deal if they dont come of the first time, but if they go through a second shedding and it doesn’t then you may have a problem.
But again... this is just what I read....

You can get a damp towel and place the towel and snake into a pillow case. Secure off the end, and let the snake craw around for a bit. This is making the snake rub against the towel- and hopefully the eye cap will come off. It will- may not happen the first try.
If you bathe your snake, use a plastic tub- not too big. Fill it with lukewarm water only up to the snakes back- do not make your snak eswim, it stresses them out.
The less stressful way to remove eye caps is the pillow case trick.
:D

A pillow case soaked in warm water works great. It is safer than any of the other methods I have heard, and won’t stress your bp out. Just soak a pillow case in warm water, wring out the excess water and place the snake in the bag. You can tie a knot in the top or just hold it closed. Then gently message the snake from underneath so as to encourage it to move around. Continue to do this for about 5 minutes or so, or until the pillow case starts to become cool. If it doesn’t work the first time around, re-soak the pillow case in warm water again and try some more. Just keep the bp warm while doing this and it should remove the eye caps in no time.
