Different eye size

Hello snake lovers. First of all sorry for my bad English. I baught my first snake, a baby corn, yesterday. He is about 25cm, active, drinks and ate his first pinkie yesterday. The problem is: I noticed he has different eye size. Not a big difference, but one is normal compared to corn snake pictures and the other eye is like a litle bit flat, as if the lid was too small for the eye. The difference is nothuge, but still... The 'little' eye is working, because when i approach the side of his head where the little eye is located, he turns his face to my finger. Please can anyone just say me if i have to worry about that, or if it is common and maybe will disapear when the snake will grow up.
Thanks for help :) i will try to take a pic tomorrow
 
You did very well with the English! (Apart from the eye lid, because snakes don't have eye lids, but I assume you mean socket - which is close enough) :)
It sounds like everything is alright. As long as the eye is functional, it is most likely nothing and the snake was born that way.
Now, I'm not an expert, so someone may say different.
Can't wait to see pictures, and congrats!

Wow, what a climber!
Well, I can only guess what's going on with his eye. To me it really just looks like a bit of a defect, probably while forming in the egg.
I personally wouldn't be worried :) Sounds like everything is going smoothly!
Thanks for the pictures!

Ok thanks for your answers. For me there are not any problems if the snake don't suffers because of the disease. I will update the evolution (or vanish!) of the disease on this thread :)
 
Yea I wouldn't be too worried. If it doesn't appear to bother him, he remains active, eating and drinking I'd just look at is as you got a unique little friend.
 
He looks so much like my Cleopatra, very similar markings, I think their bellies are beautiful! You have a very unique healthy snake!
