Most certainly looks like she's going into shed.
You'll find she clear up again shortly before shedding.

A vast amount of people try not to handle during this stage, as the snake will be near as damn it blind, so some will only perceive things approaching them as a potential threat.

Hopefully you'll get a nice complete skin from her. :)

Well, as luck would have it, yesterday evening was viv cleaning time. I went into Stella's, scooped her up and passed her over to Hawk without really looking at her. The Hawk being hawk took about 1/4 second to say, "Mum, she's blue!"

But Stella is a star, she just settled comfortably into the Hawk's palm and from there took a few leisurely excursions around his arm while waiting for her home to be ready. Wonderful snake she is.
