Thanks Westley!
There was no incision, the gunk was seeping out there on its own, he just helped squeeze it out. The vet says that he has had a case like this before with a gaboon viper, that had a stuck / unshedded fang that caused the venom gland infection. We looked for any on this little guy but found none.
I reckon it will take some TLC, a few months and a few sheds until its face looks normal again.
