Before I say anything, I'd suggest doing a responsiveness test in the pupil. Basically, shine a flashlight at the eye-- if you see the pupil contract, just give it time to clear up.
My personal opinion? I'm not entirely sure that this snake can see. I'd wait for someone who's more skilled to come along and be sure, or, even better, taking the snake to a vet to get a professional opinion, but I had my doubts when you posted your first thread and these pictures only confirm that in my head.
Keep us updated, and yes, definitely put together a humid hide asap.

If it ends up being that she can't see, I don't need to put her down, do I? She's ate since in my care, doesn't seem to have issues moving about, finding her hides or water. She seems pretty normal, always trying to.find a way escape, etc. Whenever I have ger outta the cage she seems to.find her way.around

Are your hides rough on the inside?
I used unglazed terracotta for a while and the eyecaps used to get scuffed as the snake moved around inside the hide.

Does that look similar to you?

No, you do not need to euthanize the animal. There are plenty of BPs that are born completely eyeless which live relatively normal lives and do just fine.

Blind BPs can live an excellent quality of life. Their sense of smell and their heat pits are excellent resources for navigation. There's no need to put her down if it turns out she can't see.

That poor baby.... have you tried putting her in a nice humid soak? I just did this with Nagini. All I did was pick up a locking 6qt tub, drill a nice amount of holes, put a soft towel on the bottom and fill it with about 1/2" of warm water. Let her soak for about 30 My girl was all kindsa happy rubbing along the towel. If nothing else, it will make her feel good for a little bit.

You would definitely not need to put her down.
Here is a picture of one of my boas who developed a cataract in her right eye when she was very young. She is healthy, fat, and happy. The only problems I've ever encountered is that she will occasionally miss her rat, or that she might startle a little easier on her bad side. It does not affect her quality of life in the least bit, though.
