Causes of this to include poor, incorrect enviromental conditions for the species, ie. Low humidity, due lack of any water bowl etc., or a tropical species being kept in a room full of Desert dwellers.
After the correct conditions were given and a bit of help with the shedding of both skins, the condition never re-occurred.

I don't in anyway, compare your snakes condition or SW's to snakes that I have seen this way, it is a different condition altogether, just similar in that the eye shields were crinkly.

I would be interested in knowing the breeders name by PM if it turns out to be the same breeder.
