Most boas change colours noticeably during certain times of day, mood, or temperature. Some other reasons for colour changes are sickness and shed cycles.

Also, shed cycles start days before you notice the eyes go blue. Maybe your boas is just in the very early stages of a cycle.... 
Or maybe it just changes color. :P

yeah Cleo changes all the time! She is grey with tan, but sometimes she is almost the color of wet cement 9really dark) and other times she has PEACH all over her body! I love the fact she changes like that, it's like waking up to a new snake everyday!
