 New columbian help

Hi guys .... picked up 2 young columbian boas to-day , shop keeper would only sell them as a pair £100 for the 2 ,dont know if that was cheap but it sounded good any way.The only prob is as we all know they need high humidty but they are both in shed which is pretty bad. What i want to ask yous is ,one of them has still got very cloudy eyes even while its losing its skin, would that be retain eye caps ,would i be better soaking them in the bath for a while or leave them till they settle in. Thx guys

P.S if any buddy has any hints are tips please let me know ,would be most greatful as im just used to commons and this is something new to me

put them in a bucket, with an inch of water in the bottom, then put a wet towel in the bucket, and leave them there for a bit, to loosen up the skin. Then grab onto the towel, and let them slither through, while grasping it tightly.(if that makes any sense to you) or you can just peal the skin off. the eye caps are going to be hard, because you will most likely need to take them off yourself... using your hands
