If he eats when shedding then you can carry on feeding but there is always the risk that he will refuse. I dont feed mine when they are shedding, I leave them well alone but that's just my approach as shedding is stressful enough for them and they wont miss the skipped meal.

Corno has always eaten, even when her eyes were so blue she probably couldn't see a thing lol! Ember on the other hand refused the feed I offered just before she shed so I'll probably leave her next time. Some will some won't, it's up to you whether you try - and up to snakey whether they eat if you offer!!
