I have a Brazilian Rainbow and his eyes were cloudy about 4 days ago. Then they cleared up and he spends a lot of time in his humidity box. I was wondering if he was goin to shed soon. I havnt handled him since I saw he had cloudy eyes and I would really like any information anyone could give me.

He should shed soon, yes. Usually they shed a few days after their eyes stop being blue.

Mine took over a week from the time his eyes cleared up until he started shedding. Even then, I had to feed him to induce the shedding. Be patient. He'll get sick of his skin sooner or later. :)

lol yeah I have a leo who is lazy like that. She lets the skin hang off her until she can't walk anymore, THEN she gets around to taking it off. Lazy bum.

I find Brazilians take quite a while longer than most species of boa to complete their shed cycle. I find them to go dull for longer, opaque for longer, and take longer to shed after they clear up. I'd say even close to a week after they clear up :)
