If it's the same thing that is going on with my axanthic bull, it's caused by a drainage duct that is blocked. The first time it happened, the eye swells up with clear fluid and then suddenly goes back to normal without any treatment, and no Ill effect on the animal.
I was told that the only way to ‘cure’ the problem is surgery – which would be close to impossible on a small snake…
I don’t know if this is what you snake has…. Just trying to help you out and share my experience with a similar problem.
