snakes eyes are always open, they do have an inner membrain though that keeps their eyes lubricated They don't have eyelids,but they do have an ocular scale called a brille . This brille offers some of the functions of the eyelid by keeping the eye moist and free of dust. It is shed with the skin when the snakes is molting.

Snakes have transparent scales that cover their eyes. Sort of like wearing glasses all the time. When they shed their skin they also shed the eye covers.
