He seems too little to have his mouth opened by yourself but if you can try, try getting his mouth open to see what's going on because he definitely looks swollen. I would hate for this little guy to become impacted,
Gently put a very SMALL amount of press when you have a hold of the sides of the back of the head. You will notice the snake will open its mouth slightly. Try putting the middle of a Q-tip/cotton swab in the mouth horizontally. Now take the Q-tip/cotton swab and move it downwards so the mouth opens up. Try to get a good look inside
