do brazilians get a lot of white in them before they shed? mine is all of a sudden turning white from the stomach up. i have noticed that they get dull or white in betwen the scales but i have never seen the whole body start to become white.

Its thought to be mood based. Like Boas have light and dark phases. You are most likey to see your BRB with white sides on a nice humid night. Its perfectly normal.

Digital Reptiles,
...Like you said it seems to be related to mood or something. It happens most often at night and most often with young newly mature females though to some extent it does occur with all ages and both sexes. It also occurs very markedly in Colombian and Campina Grande Rainbows. It is much less noticeable in my Peruvian Rainbows and I have never seen it in my Isla Marajo and Argentinian Rainbows.

Here he is during the day (pics are a few years old)

And every night, the sides go white

Is this the same type of color change you are seeing or is it patchy or different?

yea that is what it looks like thanx
