Retained Eyecap?

If it's a real concern to you .
Can't see what harm a 20 minute soak in a snake- temp water will do tbh - then let it slide through a damp / wet towel - apply very gentle pressure .

It won't really do any harm per say, but baths are stressful to bp's so really it would just cause unnecessary stress plus it's an eye issue and unless startled "stressed" it will not be putting it's head under water to soak the area of issue

To be fair , I don't think they get stressed at all - like anything - they will initially try every nook and cranny to find a way out but they quickly settle down and will happily put their heads under water whilst they're in there .

In case you were wondering, the definition of stress in a Ball Python looks a little like this:

Your mileage may vary...Now back to your regularly scheduled programing.

Again to be fair , I'm guessing that's simply YOUR definition of snake stress - if you put any snake or anything in a tub of water they're going to have a good look around , I don't see that as stress especially as they'll settle down in a minute or so and happily soak .
I'd be more concerned if it just sat in the tub , motionless tbh

and happily soak

I would urge caution when determining what makes your snake happy.

Bottom line, there are a couple of ways to deal with this situation that don't require putting your snake in the dunk tank.
