Blue sheen
My long tail boa has a blue sheen to his entire body in most light but I can't seem to get a good picture of it I don't see it as a problem at all but dose the sheen mean anything or what is it called and so on?

Sounds like he is going into shed. Is this a new snake to you? Usually they will go a opaque almost bluish colour, especially noticeable in the eyes. Nothing to worry about, just pay close attention to your humidity levels.

Re: Blue sheen
Last dialogue at vet, with experienced reptile vet - was told iridescence, (not applicable to shed, which according to you has happened recently) otherwise is positively correlated to good health -

The irridescence on that snake is amazing.
I was wondering if I can post pics of Taco to illustrate his similarity.
