    Looks like it. Check the eyes to see if they're turning blue at all.

    Looks like it. You should see the eyes turn cloudy in a day or two and the whole snake will look dull. That event will then clear up and you'll wonder why the snake didn't shed... ....it's just part of the process and you should see a shed occur 3-5 days or so after the "blue phase" has cleared.

    How'd you get that picture?! My girl's belly is also looking pink, but I had the WORST time trying to get a picture of it! I just kept getting either shiny and washed out or else dull and blurry
