Some books call it blueing. I call it milky eyes. All happens before the animal is going to shed. Should clear up just before the snake sheds.

Yeah my girl's almost went completely white...I was worried that I wouldn't notice it and handle her when she was about to shed and hurt her but as I quickly realised there is no way you can miss it!
