 NEED HELP WITH MY BOA!!!!

hello! i got a boa (not sure what type) she is my first snake so not really clued up on her. she’s only a baby n ive had her for about 5 months. last time she shed i think abit of dead skin got stuck to her eye and its made 1 of her eyes look abit unhealthy....im abit worried bout her, should i take her to a vet or will this just simply drop off when she next sheds???? she feeds well and is handled alot, it deosnt seem to be bothering her but i was told that it cud get infected if i just leave it. all advice is more than welcome!! Peace!

with my snake when he shed he had left piece on his back and all i did was soak him, then take a piece a tape and lightly touch the area where the left over skin was. You just got to make sure the area is soaked pretty good so that the dead skin is really soft and it should come of with ease. You might want to get some more advice cause im fairly new to dums but thats what alot of people have told me to do and it worked for me. Hope this helps.

no tape on the eye. Soak it then use a wet paper towel and just kinda touch it easy.
