Sometimes it's hard to capture or see this eye condition, especially at first, which is good...it means you caught it in time. Improve & maintain the hydration- BPs seem very prone to this- I've kept many other kinds of snakes over the years & honestly, I cannot recall any other kind of snake with the sort of crinkled or caved in eyes that I've seen on BPs- not even in other snakes with large eyes, like my favorite Trans Pecos rat snakes- never! BPs are apparently prone to this issue because (besides having large vulnerable eyes) they need more humidity PLUS warmer temperatures than many other snakes- thus these 2 factors make it more likely for them to suffer dehydration, which shows up in their eyes. So no, I don't think it's your imagination or "paranoia"- in fact, good job for paying close attention.
