A lot of times you will see a pink belly when the snake is just beginning it's shedding cycle, even before they turn opaque.

Maybe so, but it would not have been the first thing that crossed my mind. Especially given the original question....

Besides the getting ready to shed a pink belly on a ball is often a sign of a gram negative infection....which is deadly. So if they are not getting ready to shed with the fogged eyes, etc., you may want to make that vet trip.
