    Was going to buy this from the pet store when....
    I noticed its eyes? What exactly is going on here?

    the other eye looks like it has fluid forming behind it as well.

    It appears t be stuck shed and swelling of the eyes, there also appears to be a liquid coming out of them. I'd say wait until the shed finishes than see if there is stuck shed on the eyes. If the eyes are leaking than you need to go to the fet.. If the eyes are not "leaking" and if there is stuck shed than remove it.

    How much time has past from the first pic you took of it to the recent pics?

    It seems to have had a bad shed and its eyes do look pretty bad. Did you ask the store what the problem was?

    Ugh,

    I wouldn't be giving people money for doing that to a snake.

    Tell them to take it to a vet.

    I agree, they need to foot the vet bill for that little guy. Even if you were to get him and take him yourself, that would be giving the store money to buy two more snakes and watch the same thing happen.
    Really sad. :tears:
