Hello Susan,
Congrats on the great odds and pretty pieds. I wonder if that eye may have developed without a cap scale (spectacle). We have had this happen on Boa constrictor imperator a few times, particularly with homozygous Albino animals. It seems that they develop without a spectacle and gunk (absesses or infection) will form because the eye stays moist and cannot clean itself. I'm not sure if that is the case here, just worth noting since there seems to be a build up of debris around the eye. In most cases the animal will lose the eye but in all of our cases the animal has survived and fed normally with just a healed over "skin-like" growth around the eye.
You may want to seek veternarian advice if it seems to hae gotten infected.
Good luck with it...
