Is this condition spread out on to the legs at all? The picture is kind of blurry and it almost looks like pigment but if just started happening that would not be case at all. Can't really give you an iron clad answer on the forum here but it could be sepsis in which case a vet would need to start her on a course of injectible antibiotics ASAP.

Looks to me like septicemia. Zoo med has a great antibacterial/antifungal solution on the market-find it in most pet shops. soak daily for 2 hours for 1 week. had the same problems w/ hatchling painteds, this cleared them up fine w/ no casualties. I wouldn't wait long though. Good luck!!
