I’m no expert but if you’re unsure it’s simple enough to soak the snake for 25 minutes in a container with a lid ( water at about 87F ) - air holes in the lid .
Also keep your eyes on it so it doesn’t escape . They panic for about 5 seconds then settle down .

Then wrap it up in a very damp , rough textured towel and let it wriggle around .

Apply very , very gentle pressure to the head region and any retained eyecaps will normally come off on the towel .
