Looks to me like maybe the snake is just lacking some fat on its head. He looks pretty slender, did he absorb all of his yolk? I’ve heard of and seen some pictures of hatchlings like that that have oddly shaped heads like that (particularly from babies who didn’t absorb their yolk well or had other issues during development) and from what I understand after a couple meals the “hollowness” on the sides usually fills out.
The eyes do kind of look funky, could just be the perspective of the photo though.
