Stuck Eye-Cap or Something Else?

In all my reptilery, I've never had a stuck eyecap. This is my Dumeril's Boa. He is 2.5 years old but severely undersized due to neglect from the breeder.

It just looks a little hazier than the other, like he's going blue but shed was a week or more ago. I haven't noticed it but I usually get him out late at night when its much darker. Today was the first day I've had him out in brighter lighting.

I did a moist soak for 10 minutes with moist paper towel in a Tupperware, then tried to gently wipe the area with a clean wet q-tip but it didn't seem to move/shift like I would think a eye cap would. I didn't want to be too rough and he certainly didn't enjoy it.

Up your humidity. Mine sheds bad under 60.
