The other guys are dead on as usual.

One other thing that may be causing the eye to look that way are mites. I've seen mites do similar damage to snakes eyes and they tend to hang out around the eye and cause more damage and irritation.

Another easy way to remove an eye cap is by using clear tape. After you prepare the snake like Mr. Mong was describing...if the eye cap is still present, then you can take some clear tape and with a blotting motion try and stick the tape to just the eye cap. This usually removes the eye cap with ease.

Oh, and the snake is a Hypo Tangerine in my opinion.
