please see your other thread that you started and you will get some info there.
 
You can use a damp towel and let the snake crawl through it, and after a while the skin will slowly start to come off. You have to help a bit by lightly rubbing the towel on the snake. If you scroll down this page you will see previous post on the same subject.
Good Luck
 
Do what lenny said, let your snake wedge its head through the wet towel and it should come off. If it doesn't come off right a way give it a day or so its not gonne cause any really serious problems. The only thing I wouldn't recommend doing is trying to manually remove the eyecap its really tricky and you could damage your snakes eye. If the eyecaps dont come off in a few days repost.
